U.S. Education TV, an unparalleled platform delivering live and on-demand broadcasts of high school and collegiate sporting events, academic contests and other school functions, along with Phunware, the leader in enterprise branded mobile application infrastructure and experiences, today announced the launch of the U.S. Education TV mobile applications.

U.S. Education TV's new applications compliment its robust, technologically advanced, online experience, where local and regional communities can discover, connect and experience high school, college and church events through the eyes of their students. Now in a mobile environment, users can watch live events, browse archived video and read up on school news from anywhere in the world.

Other features include:

• A schedule of events for your favorite school with the ability to set up and manage reminders to tune-in and watch the event.
• A location-based broadcast schedule that allows viewers the opportunity to see broadcasts near their location with information about their schools and events.
• Featured video, events and news, including top content picks from the entire U.S. Education TV network.
• PhunDeals™, offering awesome deals every day with discounts up to 90% off at local restaurants, spas, theaters and more.

"We're very excited to carry our platform over to mobile markets," said Todd Bateman, Chief Marketing Officer at U.S. Education TV. "These apps exhibit our ongoing commitment to our mission statement, introducing the world to the real-time experiences of our students.  Through a mobile environment, it makes it that much easier for friends and family to view these events as they're happening. We've even had soldiers deployed to Afghanistan who were able to watch their kids make the big play on the football field or walk across the stage to accept their high school diploma."

Free versions of the U.S. Education TV apps are available for download from both the iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch and Google Play for select Android devices.
