±«Óãtv

Today, ±«Óãtv Mobile has announced that it will be providing exclusive content to audiences as part of ±«Óãtv Electric Proms 2009.

±«Óãtv Mobile has teamed up with Dizzee Rascal to provide his fans with the chance to play his samples and mash up his songs using a mobile soundboard. The application can be downloaded from the ±«Óãtv Mobile site, or accessed by texting player to 88111, and includes samples from some of his signature tunes.

The soundboard is live now to the majority of mobile phone owners, although not every *handset can be supported. This application will join elements on the mobile site introduced especially for ±«Óãtv Electric Proms including exclusive interview audio, photo galleries, wallpapers, set lists and Twitter updates during the gig.

These new features, in addition to the recently introduced radio network pages and the increased personalisation aspects to the ±«Óãtv mobile homepage, are all intended to enable audiences to stay connected to the ±«Óãtv wherever they are.

Download your Dizzee soundboard at http://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2009/mobile/.

Notes to Editors

* The Dizzee Player is a java application. This format is supported by most mobile phones, excluding iPhone and Android devices. Please note that audio playback experience may vary depending on device.
