As part of the deal, FLO TV users will have access to some of the most popular shows in primetime from ABC Mobile and a simulcast of the Disney Channel.

"ABC Mobile and Disney Channel offer some of the most iconic and popular programming on television," said Jonathan Barzilay, senior vice president of programming and advertising, FLO TV.

The ABC Mobile channel features full-length episodes of popular primetime shows such as "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives," "FlashForward," "Ugly Betty" and "Lost" (when it returns in February 2010), as well as select content from ABC Family and SOAPnet. Additionally, the mobile channel offers a variety of short-form content from ABC Entertainment and ABC News.

Disney Channel will run a simulcast on the FLO TV service, offering consumers access to full-length episodes of hit Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," "Wizards of Waverly Place," "The Suite Life on Deck" and "JONAS," as well as films from the wildly popular Disney Channel Original Movie franchise.
