Way back during January 2009, Avis was talking about bringing television to your car using AT&T CruiseCast. Well, the time has come and the service is now available in Florida starting today. What does it cost to get the kids in the back to shut up and watch Hannah Montana? $62.65 per week or $8.95 more »

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.

Okay, you’re driving a rented car around a city you probably don’t know. Unless you have a GPS, you’re trying to figure out how to get where you want to in an unfamiliar environment. What’s missing to add to your anxiety? It has to be Spongebob Squarepants’ laugh, of course.

Avis Budget Group is using AT&T’s new CruiseCast to offer satellite TV and radio to car renters.
