Agent511

ABC affiliate, KVUE, in Austin Texas is now partnering with Agent511 to send weather alerts, breaking news alerts, stock closings and more via text message! Viewers will be able to keep up with current events, weather, and promotions without being tied down by a computer or television.

KVUE is also launching an interactive newscast using Agent511. Local Austin residents will be able to text in comments on controversial news topics. Viewers comments are then scrolled through the crawl on the bottom of the screen. This allows both the station and the viewers to keep up with the general consensus of the public regarding current events.
