CBS46ToGo is a specially designed version of the award winning CBS46.com website that allows easy and quick access of pertinent information to anyone with Internet or texting capabilities. The site does not include any large graphics, pop-up ads or audio that makes downloading traditional sites very slow. PDAs, cell phones or similar hardware devices can access up to the minute information in a user-friendly format through accessing a specific designed CBS46.com wireless site through Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).

Get the local content you want when you want it
From the home page of cbs46ToGo.com, users can select between five main content sections: news, weather, sports, finance and movies. Selecting a section will provide additional information. Weather forecasts are provided by either city or zip code, while a choice of local, state, national and World news is available.

The best things in life are free
As with the full version of the CBS46.com website, consumers are not required to pay any fees, register or enter personal information to access CBS46ToGo. Anyone with a wireless provider’s Internet service is able to access the site. Plus, what's made it even more possible to offer this service without extra cost is the sponsorship of our partner on this project, Tim Stewart Ford .

Who can use CBS46ToGo?
Anyone who has Internet access through their cell phone or PDA can use CBS46ToGo. Road warriors will find the new site provides a great way to stay connected to Atlanta regardless of their location, as they can keep up with the latest Braves scores, weather at home or progress on personal stocks.
