THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM Goes WirelessToronto, Canada – One of Transcontinental Media’s most popular websites, TheHockeyNews.com (THN.com) is expanding into mobile! Thanks to a partnership with Redboom Solutions, THN.com launched a rich media mobile site today — just in time for the first round of the NHL Playoffs.

“The mobile platform is a natural fit for THN.com, and this deal further extends the reach of the The Hockey News brand — which has been providing the most comprehensive coverage of the world of hockey since 1947. There is a huge appetite for the hockey news and features that THN.com is famous for delivering, so having a presence on mobile plays perfectly into the behaviour of THN.com’s core audience.” said Caroline Andrews, Publisher, Sports & Entertainment for Transcontinental Media.

The mobile website will bring all of the hallmark features of THN.com – blogs, columns, analysis and other regular features – to the mobile web and make them available to users around-the-clock, on-demand, and at no cost.

Transcontinental Media opted for a technology solution which allows THN.com visitors to access content on their mobile phones without compromising the design and quality of the wired website. In this way, we completely eliminate the need for creating and maintaining separate mobile-specific portals.

Users can access the site by simply typing mobile.THN.com into any web-enabled mobile phone, including Blackberry and Apple iPhone.
