New NCAA and NBA Basketball Apps for Android and iOS launched by Zumobiand Sporting News

Zumobi and Sporting News have announced that they have formalized a long-term agreement for co-publishing mobile news apps in all of the major sports categories, professional and college. The agreement has been signed just as Zumobi and Sporting News add two new apps to strengthen and diversify the sports category on Zumobi's premium mobile app network. The Sporting News NCAA Basketball app is now available on both the iOS and Android platforms. The Sporting News Pro Basketball app is available on the Android platform and will be available on the iOS platform soon.

The Sporting News apps offer compelling sponsorship opportunities through Zumobi's proprietary "app-within-an-app" rich media advertising platform, BrandBlast. The Sporting News Pro and NCAA Basketball apps launched with an integrated, cross-platform brand advertising campaign for the Ford F150.

The free Sporting News apps offer fans on-the-go access to news, scores, videos, standings and more for the major professional and college sports leagues on whichever mobile platform they use. Users can customize the apps for at-a-glance information about the games they can't miss and receive updates on their favorite conferences and teams. Push notifications keep users connected when breaking news hits and Facebook and Twitter connectivity allows users to share content with their social graph.

App Features include:
+ News, scores, videos, standings and stats;
