Sprint and the National Football League are offering NFL Mobile Live, the only wireless source
for complete, live access to NFL action. NFL Mobile Live is free of
charge to Sprint data subscribers.
For the first time in wireless, Sprint customers will be able to
listen to the live radio broadcasts of every NFL game throughout the
2008 regular season and will also be able to watch all eight of the
Thursday Night Football telecasts carried by NFL Network live
beginning on Nov. 6 via the new NFL Mobile Live application. Sprint is
making it easier to follow a specific team by carrying a live radio
broadcast for each game including pregame and postgame reports in most
instances.
Users can choose a favorite team and every time they use NFL
Mobile Live that team's information will appear on the screen first
with the latest information and quick links to live broadcasts for
that team on game days, thus eliminating the need to navigate through
several screens.
NFL.com fantasy owners no longer need to be tied to their
computer. NFL Mobile Live allows fantasy owners to monitor the
performance of every player in real time directly from their phone.
Key information for individual players will be easily accessible,
including real-time game and season cumulative stats, rankings, player
profiles and photos. And for the first time fans will be able to watch
video highlights for some players on NFL Mobile Live via a link on the
player's main page. Players with video highlights will vary week to
week.
"The NFL continues to explore new ways to feed our fans'
insatiable appetite to get NFL games, news and highlights, anytime,
anywhere and on any screen," said Brian Rolapp, NFL senior vice
president of media strategy. "NFL Mobile Live, exclusively from
Sprint, enables fans to enjoy Thursday Night Football and other
exclusive content on their terms."
In addition to the live radio broadcasts and NFL Network game
telecasts, fans will again have live access to NFL Network's non-game
programming throughout the season including training-camp reports and
previews for every team along with popular programs, such as NFL Total
Access, NFL GameDay and NFL Playbook.
Fans will get the latest news and analysis from training camp
through the Super Bowl from NFL.com's experts along with video
highlights of the top plays available each week throughout the season.
NFL Mobile Live is included at no additional charge in Sprint's
Everything plans starting at $69.99, including Simply Everything,
which combines unlimited voice, messaging and extensive data services
- such as NFL Mobile Live - for just $99.99 per month. With other
Sprint plans, customers can get NFL Mobile Live by adding a Data Pack,
starting at $15 per month. NFL Mobile Live is available on most Sprint
handsets.
