MTV and Comedy Central in your car

Man, your car has everything: GPS turn-by-turn directions, awesome stereo system, DVD, almost every gadget you can think of.  But does it have MTV or Comedy Central?

AT&T and RaySat Broadcasting have announced that, via the AT&T CruiseCast service, MTV and Comedy Central will be broadcasting directly to your car.  The satellite television and radio service will be broadcasting 22 TV channels to include not only MTV and Comedy Central but Nickelodeon, Noggin, and more as part of MTV’s mobile channels.

Originally debuted at CES 2009, the 22 TV channels and 20 satellite radio channels available on AT&T CruiseCast will contain a variety of sports, news, family programming, music and more.

AT&T CruiseCast is made possible due to satellite technology getting much smaller.  It uses a small antenna that sits on the roof of your car similar to those used with XM Satellite Radio, but larger.  The antenna is attached to a small receiver in the car which then attaches to monitors.
