m.Net Corporation, Australia’s leading mobile marketing company, is pleased to announce that Premier Media Group (PMG) has gone live with the FOX SPORTS-branded mobile (m) site.

 

Developed by m.Net following a competitive tender, the FOX SPORTS m-site is a dedicated mobile site for FOX SPORTS.com.au. It focuses on delivering the latest sports news, live scores, results and coming fixtures from the wide range of sports covered by FOX SPORTS. The FOX SPORTS m-site is available on all mobile phones with internet browsing capability and on all Australian mobile networks.

Premier Media Group selected m.Net for its proven mobile development expertise, which includes building the Telstra mobile site for the Beijing Olympics, as well as sites and mobile marketing platforms for Warner Music and Hyundai/Fitness First.

 

“It’s quite a challenge taking the amount of live scoring and news data we have available and translating it into a mobile site. m.Net have shown their professionalism, commitment and flexibility in helping us deliver this content to the mobile sports fan,” said FOX SPORTS Chief Operating Officer, Jon Marquard.

 

The launch of the FOX SPORTS m-site also includes the second major phase of the project with comprehensive news, live scores and stats coverage of AFL, NRL, Rugby Union, Football, Cricket, Golf, Motor Sports, Tennis and more.

 

“Australians have always been passionate sports fans with a big appetite for the latest sports news and are early adopters of new technology,” said m.Net Chief Marketing Officer, Scott Johnson.

 

“It has been very exciting for us to partner with PMG to undertake this project and deliver a fantastic site for such an iconic brand as FOX SPORTS.”
