Fast-growing Fox Reality's first-ever mobile deal to provide “Reality Remix,” “Solitary 2.0,” “The Academy” and other original series content to Amp'd Live Mobile TV service

Fox Reality, an all-reality, all-the-time network, has entered into its first mobile deal with Amp'd Mobile, the pioneer of integrated mobile entertainment, to bring Amp'd Live subscribers linear TV and on-demand video content from Fox Reality's most popular original and acquired series. The service launches April 16.

The year-and-a-half-old Fox Reality is already one of the most successful new network launches in television history, surpassing more than 35 million television homes. Beginning this month, Fox Reality will begin providing Amp'd customers with as many as four hours of reality content per day including clips, interviews and reality news updates from Fox Reality's popular daily show “Reality Remix” and highlights from original series including “The Academy,” “Solitary 2.0” and “Rob & Amber: Against the Odds,” among many others.

”For nearly ten years the demographic Amp'd Mobile serves has propelled reality TV to its current status,” said Seth Cummings, Senior Vice President, Content Development & Programming, Amp'd Mobile. "Programming unique extensions of broadcast programs and original reality series is a proven ratings driver on Amp'd Live and the addition of Fox Reality to our industry leading mobile TV lineup is a big win for our customers.”

Ed Skolarus, Fox Reality's Vice President of Business & Operations, noted, “News, sports and weather have already quickly established themselves as programming staples for the mobile generation, and now reality content is fast on their heels as the next progressive genre. Since its inception, Fox Reality has always been more than a linear television service, as our fans ultimately demand their reality fix anytime, anyhow and any place they want it. Amp'd Mobile helps to enable that like few other partners.”

Fox Reality's newest original series “The Academy” debuts in May and follows the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's intense process of breaking down and building up raw recruits, turning them into ready-for-duty Deputy Sheriffs. “The Academy” is the latest in an increasing line of Fox Reality originals including the ongoing hit “American Idol Extra” companion program to America's biggest reality series of all and the nation's single most popular program, American Idol.

Other top Fox Reality original shows include the recent “My Bare Lady” and “Rob & Amber: Against All Odds,” “Corkscrewed: The Wrath of the Grapes” and the first season of contestant series “Solitary” returning later this summer with a new array of harrowing challenges.
