Similar to the sports highlight channels available now also a music channel with short clips of concert footage from major artists.
An innovative idea for sure, that's probably due to just get bigger over time if it succeeds.
What do you think of this? Have you tried it yet on your phone? Tell about the quality, the fun, or anything else that comes to mind.

Encore! Encore! Concert Performances Available On Verizon Wireless V CAST Phones, Including: Velvet Revolver, Sum 41, Chicago, Avril Lavigne And Many More Top Artists
Verizon Wireless and Clear Channel Entertainment Properties Bring Live Concert Experience to New V CAST Encore Channel at No Additional Charge to Subscribers
BEDMINSTER, NJ and HOUSTON — The hottest ticket in town is now on your wireless phone. Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless provider, and Clear Channel Entertainment Properties, announced the launch of the V CAST Encore Channel today – a new V CAST channel exclusive to Verizon Wireless V CAST customers, broadcasting concert performances from top artists in rock, pop, alternative, country, world and hip-hop. On the V CAST Encore Channel, concert performances from popular artists will be broadcast in the days following select live shows for one week. Artists and songs available for viewing rotate as new performances take place around the country.
The V CAST Encore Channel is a continuation of Verizon Wireless’ focus on delivering music to its customers, which began with ring tones and then evolved to Ringback Tones. The V CAST launch earlier this year offered customers full-length music videos. Now, because of the quality of Verizon Wireless’ high-speed EV-DO network and the company’s relationship with Clear Channel Entertainment Properties, V CAST customers have the opportunity to enjoy songs from their favorite artists from concerts taking place across the country.
“Our relationship with Clear Channel Entertainment Properties brings a broad range of popular artists to our wireless multimedia service,” said John Stratton, vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless. “Clear Channel’s unparalleled artist relationships will allow our V CAST customers to see and listen to concert performances from artists they love – regardless of whether their tastes are pop or alternative, country or hip-hop.”
“Wireless is the next big delivery platform for extending the entertainment experience beyond live performances,” said Bruce Eskowitz, president of Clear Channel Entertainment Properties.
“We’re breaking new ground in our collaboration with Verizon Wireless, the pioneer of next-generation wireless entertainment. With the delivery of a live concert experience following a show, V CAST customers across the country will now be able to experience the thrill of the most incredible entertainment at no extra charge.”
Within days of a recent concert, each participating artist will offer a few of their songs for a limited time on the V CAST Encore Channel in the Entertainment category on Verizon Wireless V CAST-enabled wireless phones. For example, at launch V CAST customers can tune in to watch three songs from Velvet Revolver’s May 18 show in Pittsburgh. There are no additional charges to view the concert songs – the V CAST Encore Channel is included in V CAST’s monthly access fee. V CAST customers get unlimited access to a wide array of more than 300 videos that are updated daily from leading content providers, including the V CAST Encore Channel. Verizon Wireless V CAST customers also receive unlimited browsing of Verizon Wireless’ Mobile Web 2.0SM news and information service. In addition, customers can choose from premium content, available for an additional cost, that includes 3D games, music videos and other premium channels.
V CAST’s array of hot, new multimedia programming is located in the Get It Now® virtual store. Customers can access video from favorite news, sports and entertainment providers in the getFLIX shopping aisle and check out new, cutting-edge 3D games in the getGAMES aisle. V CAST also gives customers unlimited access to browse and view applications in the other familiar Get It Now shopping aisles – such as getTONES and getGOING.
V CAST customers can find the V CAST Encore Channel on the VX8000 phone. With the LG VX8000, V CAST customers can watch content on their wireless phones and experience outstanding clarity and sharpness.
Verizon Wireless products and services are available at more than 1,900 Verizon Wireless stores nationwide, including Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and stores within Circuit City, as well as at authorized retailers including Best Buy and participating RadioShack locations.
