Verizon, Vodafone team for live Madonna simulcast

Verizon Wireless and Vodafone announced they will team to deliver a live global mobile simulcast spotlighting performances from Madonna's April 30 show at New York City's Roseland Ballroom. The simulcast, which expands Vodafone's exclusive mobile content distribution and promotion deal with Warner Music International in support of the new Madonna album Hard Candy, will feature four live songs from the disc, officially dropping Tuesday. Verizon Wireless is scheduled to begin the mobile broadcast at 10 p.m. EST via the V Cast Performances channel, with Vodafone Live's broadcast beginning at 3 a.m. GMT for subscribers in the U.K., Germany, Italy, France and close to a dozen other international markets. V Cast Performances will also archive the performance for 30 days.

Earlier this month, Verizon Wireless issued an exclusive "mobile underground remix" of the new Madonna single "4 Minutes" remixed by hip-hop mastermind Timbaland, who is also slated to release an exclusive album via the operator's Mobile Producer in Residence program.
