CTV and The Globe and Mail deliver election results to mobile screens

In a bid to move to a different form of media, CTV and The Globe and Mail are making the leap to the small screen. Mobile screens, that is. On election day, mobile-toting Canucks can get free, real-time text message results from CTV.ca and globeandmail.com, respectively. Both sources will send updated polling info including national and provincial results to mobiles via shortcodes. The mobile application was developed by Charlottetown, P.E.I-based Magnet Mobile Media.
