Verizon TV Goes Live, More Details Known

As we first reported earlier in the week, Verizon just launched its Mobile TV initiative.

Now that the service is actually available, the AP is reporting some particulars that weren’t known until now. Here are the final eight channels: CBS Mobile, Comedy Central, ESPN, Fox Mobile, MTV, NBC 2Go, NBC News 2Go and Nickelodeon.

The article also says that not all of Verizon’s Mobile TV channels will match the regular broadcasts exactly, though they will line up most of the time. For example, programs such as The Daily Show and Late Show with David Letterman will run at the same time, while South Park “will be time-shifted,” according to the report.
