Partnering with local TV affiliates in cities across the country, Atlanta, Ga.-based local content provider, Local Solutions Network, Inc. (LSN) and Verizon Wireless, the leading wireless company with the most reliable voice and data network, announced that Verizon Wireless customers in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and nearly 50 markets across the country now have access to the very latest in local news, weather and sports video -- right on their V CAST- enabled phones.
The new V CAST Video channel, Local TV Video, offers Verizon Wireless' customers with select V CAST-enabled phones easy access to news, weather and sports video stories from local television station affiliates. Local TV Video is the perfect resource for the on-the-go customer looking for immediate access to local information. For example, V CAST customers too busy to catch the evening news can stay abreast of the day's local news headlines directly from their wireless phones.
Local TV Video is available today from Verizon Wireless on newer V CAST- capable handsets with news from local stations in nearly 50 markets from coast to coast. V CAST is the first true wireless broadband consumer multimedia service in the country and gives customers access to video content on-demand, including news, weather and sports updates, clips from popular TV programs, music videos, movie trailers, 3D games and more. Verizon Wireless customers can find Local TV Video in the News section on select V CAST-enabled phones, including MOTORAZR V3c and V3m, MOTOSLVR L7c and MOTOKRZR K1m; Chocolate by LG, The enV by LG, LG VX8300, VX8600, VX8700 and VX9400; and Samsung SCH-a990 and SCH-u540.
To get V CAST, customers with select V CAST-enabled phones can check out V CAST whenever they want for just $3.00 for 24-hour use or by signing up for the $15.00 V CAST VPak monthly subscription. Customers get unlimited basic video -- including Local TV Video -- but application download fees apply for 3D games and premium video. There are no airtime charges to download, stream or watch V CAST content.
