The new four-year agreement for NFL Mobile kicks off next month with coverage of the 2010 NFL Draft to be held from April 22-24 and continues with the NFL’s regular season.
Among the programming that will be available for the first time during the regular season will be the wildly popular NFL RedZone channel from the NFL Network, which airs live look-ins of every key play and touchdown from Sunday afternoon games. Fans also will be able to watch live streaming of NBC’s Sunday Night Football and NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football. In addition, fans will receive the NFL Network channel, which airs seven days a week, 24 hours a day on a year-round basis
In addition to NFL RedZone, live Sunday Night and Thursday Night games, and NFL Network, other features of NFL Mobile on Verizon Wireless will include:
* Video: Game highlights and an extensive collection of on-demand video featuring analysis and inside access from NFL Network and NFL Films.
* Audio: Live radio broadcasts of every regular season and playoff game from both home and away teams.
* Fantasy: Access to fantasy information, news, and player and team statistics.
* Customizable NFL alerts, ringtones and graphics.
The service will be available on some Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Brew (a not-so-smart phone operating system from Qualcomm) devices, wrote a Verizon spokesman in an e-mail. Additional information on specific phones and associated pricing will be available closer to the start of the NFL season in August. |

Sprint's plan for new app to replace NFL Live I got this in an EMAIL today from Sprint in answer to my question about what happens to Sprint Wireless customers that have the NFL app as a free part of their Everything Data plan:
Starting April 01, 2010, Sprint will no longer be the wireless sponsor of the NFL. Beginning March 31, 2010, when our customers access the application NFL Mobile Live, they will be prompted to download the new application Sprint Football Live.
The Sprint Football Live application is offering play-by-play professional football information and college football too.
This includes:
Pro Football Draft:
· Live Draft Tracker
· In depth analysis and bios on nearly 500 top prospects
· Exclusive blogs from top Draft prospects Sam Bradford and Ndamukong Suh
· Draft Predict-a-Pick: 32 picks in 32 days
Regular Season Football
· Pro and college football coverage
· Live Game Center
· Real-time stats and scores {{the only things I ever used anyway}}
· Breaking news
· Game previews and recaps
· Expert insight and analysis from source likes Pro Football Talk and Sports Blog Nation
· Even more content will be confirmed before the start of the college and pro football seasons So it looks like Sprint loses the LIVE video of games, but still has everything else they are offering now. |
