BASKING
RIDGE/CULVER CITY, October 23: Sony Pictures Television’s The Minisode Network,
featuring four- to six-minute versions of the studio's classic television

The shows
offered as minisodes on V CAST includes classics from the Sony Pictures
Television library such as Diff'rent Strokes, Facts of Life, Charlie's Angels, The Jeffersons, Bewitched and Fantasy Island, among others. The Minisode Network, which
originally launched in June 2007 on MySpace, retains the full story arc of each

select V CAST-enabled phones can get unlimited basic video, including The
Minisode Network, for $3 for 24-hour use or by signing up for the $15 V CAST
VPak monthly subscription. Application download fees do apply for 3-D games and
premium video, but there are no airtime charges to download, stream or watch V
CAST content.

with Sony Pictures Television's The Minisode Network serves as another proof
point to our commitment to deliver the best snack-sized entertainment available
on mobile phones to Verizon Wireless customers."

Pictures Television is determined to be a leader in mobile video, and V CAST is
a perfectly suited platform for The Minisode Network," added Eric Berger,
the VP of mobile entertainment for Sony Pictures Television.
