ABC's "Lost" Goes Mobile

Another popular TV show is coming to the small--very small --screen near you. Original mini-episodes of ABC's "Lost," featuring two characters who do not appear in the network version of the hit program, will soon be available to Verizon mobile-phone customers who pay $15 monthly for the provider's VCast service. So reports Broadcasting & Cable, which says the formal annnouncement is expected today. The "Lost" "mobisodes," created specifically for the mobile market, will each be several minutes in length. Buena Vista Home Entertainment, not ABC, will produce the programming, which later will be packaged as part of a second-season release, according to unnamed sources in the B&C story. The move comes on the heels of recent announcements by both ABC and CBS that some of their top prime-time shows will soon be available on mobile devices (iPods and cell phones) for customers willing to pay the premium.
