LSN Expands Apps to RIM Platform

LSN Mobile describes itself as “the nation’s largest network of local TV news content for mobile users.” The company announced this morning that it had expanded from the iPhone and Android onto the BlackBerry platform. LSN has built an impressive network of local TV apps and sites that extend into all US DMAs.

The company also claims 200 million page views and 35 million unique visitors a month. 

LSN Mobile builds apps for local TV affiliates and then delivers supplemental content into those apps. Both the local TV affiliate and LSN can sell ads into the app or network and split the revenue. This is the same model that Verve Wireless uses in the newspaper segment. It’s also comparable to the way that Quattro started, as an app developer and host.
