FOX News Channel is one of the most watched cable news channels and covers breaking news as well as political, entertainment and business news, which is why it should be available for people who always want to find out what's happening even though they aren't in front of the TV at the time.

Jeremy Steinberg, Fox News Digital Media Sales and Business Development Vice President was the one that announced that Fox News will be going mobile. In making the announcement, Steinberg said, "We're excited to offer Fox News viewers a revolutionary new way to access the number one cable news channel."

Now users can access the channel on their mobile phones as a result of the partnership between Fox News and Single Touch Interactive. The new product will provide a live audio feed of the network by dialing "#FOXN" (#3696) on mobile phones.

According to Single Touch Interactive Founder and CEO Anthony Macaluso "Single Touch is very excited to partner with Fox News. Delivering FNC real-time audio feeds directly to any mobile telephone anytime, anywhere is a wireless technology breakthrough and STI is thrilled to share this technology with today's news leader."

Aside from receiving a live audio feed of the news channel, by dialing "#FOXN" you will also be provided with the latest on-demand news, business and weather headlines, ringtones and voicetones.

And just in case you don't want to miss your favorite program, there's a call back service and you will be phoned just before the program is about to begin. At first, the service will be available on Cingular for a $2.99 monthly fee.
