Verizon Wireless has signed a deal with Local Solutions Network to offer local news, weather and sports video over the V Cast network. The channel—Local TV Video—will offer access to news, weather and sports video stories from local television station affiliates, and will include almost 50 markets across the US including New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta. It’s not specified but it sounds like this is over Verizon’s mobile network rather than the MediaFLO broadcast network. Gizmondo suggests that you’ll be able to view the channel from anywhere rather than just the local vicinity, but it would be pretty simple for Verizon to detect where your phone is and offer you the local news just from that area. The channel will be included in the normal V Cast cost.
