Preakness Stakes Offered on Mobile Phones

This year’s Preakness will be available live through Verizon’s “V Cast Mobile TV” service on Saturday afternoon.

The Preakness is being broadcast on NBC from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore Maryland.

"NBC Sports is committed to bringing our content to fans wherever they are, so we’re excited to launch our first live mobile broadcast with the Preakness Stakes," said Perkins Miller of NBC Sports.

The signal is originating on NBC2Go and is the first broadcast to be carried by V Cast Mobile TV. This Verison service delivers live television programming to handsets that have been configured to receive the service. Another event that has been made available via this medium was the 2007 NCAA men’s championship basketball game.

The Preakness is this Saturday 5 to 630pm EST on NBC.
