The TV Zone

Now that Jay, Dave and Jon are back, you can catch their latest routines live and on-the-go, (almost) anywhere across Long Island, even on the train or in the waiting room. Verizon Wireless this week announced the expansion of V CAST Mobile TV coverage east to Riverhead for its TV-enabled cell phones, with enhanced service in New York City, plus northern New Jersey.

The eight channels available for Mobile TV include CBS Mobile, FOX Mobile, , NBC 2GO, NBC News2GO, Comedy Central, ESPN Mobile TV, MTV and Nickelodeon. Many shows air as simulcasts on these specially programmed channels -- including “The Tonight Show,” “Late Show With David Letterman,” “The Daily Show,” “The Colbert Report,” the evening newscasts, “The Early Show,” and such prime-timers as “CSI.”

Other programs are time-shifted, or added only for mobile, so you can watch “The Young and the Restless” at 4 a.m. or 2:30 p.m., “Star Trek” at 4:30 p.m., “Prison Break” at 5:30 p.m., “Lost in Space” at 4:30 a.m., and Conan or Craig at 6:30 a.m.

Mobile TV requires Verizon phones specially equipped with TV antennas to pick up these special broadcast signals, separate from cell coverage.
