ES Musica, the first ever made-for-mobile Latin channel, is available exclusively on Verizon Wireless’ V CAST and delivers music videos, behind-the- scenes footage and live performances from the biggest and brightest Latin artists in Latin pop, rock, hip-hop, reggaeton and more.
Rock On: Altitude offers rock fans a blend of videos, performances, interviews and exclusive content, direct to mobile, from the most trusted and cutting-edge original mobile rock channel available. GoTV Networks’ urban music channel, Hip Hop Official, launched with Verizon Wireless on V CAST Video earlier this year.
“With the launch of ES Musica and Rock On: Altitude, we’re helping to expand the musical spectrum available on V CAST Video,” said Thomas Ellsworth, chief executive officer of GoTV Networks. “We have seen impressive results since the debut of Hip Hop Official on V CAST Video in January, and we are confident Verizon Wireless customers will be quite satisfied with these two new choices on V CAST Video.”
Verizon Wireless is committed to delivering a variety of V CAST Video programming to meet ongoing customer demand for news, sports, weather and entertainment while on-the-go. In the first half of 2008, Verizon Wireless customers downloaded more than 71 million video clips and songs from the company’s V CAST Video and Music services. With the addition of ES Musica and Rock On: Altitude, Verizon Wireless is able to offer a broader line-up of content on V CAST Video to help satisfy the mobile cravings of Verizon Wireless customers.
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, which also includes access to Verizon Wireless’ ESPN MVP, Get It Now(R) and Mobile Web services. Customers get unlimited basic video — including ES Musica and Rock On: Altitude — but application download fees may apply for 3D games and premium video. There are no airtime or megabyte charges to download, stream or watch V CAST content with any V CAST subscription.
