Verizon Wireless has added full-length college football games to its MediaFLO-powered TV service.
In an industry first, more than 100 college football games, including 20 bowl matchups, will be broadcast to Verizon’s V CAST Mobile TV users. They will air on CBS Mobile, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX Mobile and NBC 2Go. Programmers will choose which games to cover based on team performances the previous week.
ESPN Mobile TV will air more than 75 live match-ups, as well as up to 20 bowl games.
Notre Dame fans can catch seven Fighting Irish games on NBC 2Go and two on ESPN Mobile TV, while highlights of the 2007 season on CBS Mobile will include up to 15 Southeastern Conference games, the Sun Bowl and Gator Bowl, and up to 38 additional college football games covered through CSTV on CBS Mobile. FOX Sports Mobile, meanwhile, is the destination of choice for mobile Big 12 fans.
