ESPN Producing Gascasts for GSTV
Wish you could get sports scores while you are gassing up your car? According to LA Times.com, now you can.ESPN, the American sports news network, announced a partnership with Gas Station TV (GSTV) to provide 45-second broadcasts for thousands of TV screens located at gas pumps across the United States.
"It's another opportunity for fans to be able to watch us," ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said.ESPN will slowly ramp up production of the gascasts. The network will initially just produce one segment per day for GSTV. But eventually ESPN hopes to produce multiple segments everyday.
Where can you see these gascasts? Right now only in Atlanta, Dallas and Houston. But next month GSTV hopes to install more screens at gas stations in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Love the gascast idea – something to distract you from the $20 a gallon price. Seriously – does seem like a captive audience and opportunity to sell specific products.
