American Idol Auditions: Mobile Access Available

Cingular Wireless - now the new AT&T - has renewed its deal with FOX, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment to provide American Idol fans with mobile access to memorable moments from the show’s auditions.

For the next three weeks, the Cingular Video library will feature up to ten bad American Idol audition clips. To access the clips, consumers need to have a 3G phone and must sign up for the $19.99 MEdia MAX Bundle, which includes unlimited Cingular Video.

In addition to video content, ring tones are also available.

Throughout the season, AT&T’s wireless unit will be introducing new American Idol-themed content, as well as returning favorites such as IDOL Chat, IDOL Trivia and Live IDOL Tones, just to name a few.

The show’s last season generated more than 64.5 million text messages.
