Warner Brothers and Verizon Wireless today announced clips from some of the WB Network’s most popular shows are now available to users of Verizon Wireless’s V CAST high speed wireless network. Joining these WB clips will be cartoon shorts from Warner Brothers’ archives.

The WB Network shows being promoted include Everwood, Gilmore Girls, Smallville and Supernatural. Video segments for each of these shows will appear the day before the episode airs on television.

“When people leave their house in the morning they grab their keys, their wallet or purse and their mobile phones. What better way to deliver Warner Bros. content than through the one device they take with them everywhere,” said Jim Noonan, senior vice president and general manager of Warner Bros. Online. “Verizon Wireless was the first company to deliver mobile video in the U.S.; they are pioneers in delivering rich, multimedia content to their customers. Working with them enables us to offer our audience programming that is entertaining and relevant wherever they go.”
