Motorola and MTV Networks International to launch ‘Head and Body’ series ‘made for mobile’
MUMBAI: Motorola, Inc. and MTV Networks International will introduce Head and Body series, especially created for the handset which has been launched on a global scale.
Head and Body is a series of eight short mobisodes that follow the comedic adventures of a character whose head is detached from his body. Shot in Tijuana and Los Angeles, the live action series follows the characters — i.e. his detached head and his body — and how they work together to attempt to
meet women, keep fit and knock over as little as possible.
As the latest initiative to come out of their strategic
marketing alliance, Head and Body follows in the tradition of Motorola’s groundbreaking technological innovation and MTV Networks International’s expertise in creating compelling content designed specifically for young people, informs an official release.
Starting today, (20 October) the mobisodes will be disseminated through MTV Networks International’s mobile distribution channels and via Motorola’s web site, http://www.hellomoto.com , in markets across the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe.
In the United States, MTV Networks’ Comedy Central is also
distributing the content. More information regarding local distribution is available at http://www.headandbody.com .
“By collaborating with MTV Networks International to create the Head and Body series, Motorola has redefined the way mobile content is developed for the third screen,” said Motorola Inc VP global marketing and communications Leslie Dance.
“Head and Body is a unique and witty entertainment series that marks the future of mobile phone entertainment and
programming, ” Dance adds.
“MTVNI’s partnership with Motorola has reached a new level of creativity and innovation with the debut of Head and Body,” said MTV Networks International senior VP digital media Gideon Bierer.
“The creation of this first-of-its-kind series has enabled us to pioneer unique ways of storytelling and connecting with young people as they turn to the handset as an every day platform for entertainment, ” Bierer adds.
Head and Body was produced for MTV Networks International and Motorola by Jeff Labbe and Mike Folino at radical.media. The original score was composed by Paul Westerberg (The Replacements).

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
