Favorite sports team on their cell phone

"Medio's search is truly mobile-centric in concept and design," said Cyriac Roeding, Executive Vice President, CBS Mobile. "When users search their favorite sports team on their cell phone, they want a very different search result than they would online. For instance, on their small screen, they might want a quick snapshot of the latest scores, injuries, news and gossip about the club. This is the kind of experience we will be providing within CBS Sports Mobile with Medio Search. We are committed to joining forces with best-in-breed partners to ensure the user experience is top notch and second to none."

 

Optimized cntent for phone screens
"CBS has great insight into mobile consumption from their audience and clear vision for extending brand loyalty beyond CBS' outdoor, television and online media entities. We're excited to partner with CBS on creating a standard for what consumers should expect from a mobile experience," said Brian Lent, Chief Executive Officer for Medio Systems. "Medio understands the nuances of a mobile experience, and how it's drastically different than performing a search on a PC. Not only do users want quick access to answers or content in the fewest number of clicks, they also want relevant content that is optimized for their phone's screen. We look forward to delivering this to the CBS Mobile audience."
