Helio Partners with QD3 Entertainment
12/3/07 – Westwood-based mobile virtual network operator Helio, and QD3 Entertainment, an independent producer and aggregator of urban content for multi-platform distribution, have partnered to launch a QD3-branded mobile channel as part of Helio’s new Music Mix premium video package. The companies say the service will feature streaming music-related video content, including performances, artist interviews, music news and videos.
The QD3 service will consist of five channels, including “Classic Clips”—rare and exclusive videos, “Comedy”—hilarious stand-up routines and skits, and “Original”—episodic and unique content developed especially for mobile.
Helio and QD3 say the branded channel’s content will come from QD3’s library of over 2,000 hours. QD3 was founded in 2002 by famed producer Quincy D. Jones III.
Helio was founded in 2005 by EarthLink founder Sky Dayton and has been backed to this point by EarthLink and South Korea’s SK Telecom.
