Lexy Kicks Off New Mobile Audio Entertainment Service for Free!
SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Lexy
today announced the beta launch of a new entertainment medium that
provides free on-demand personalized audio clips that listeners can get
on any phone by dialing 877-FYI-LEXY (877-394-5399) or by going to
Lexy.com. Listeners can subscribe to brief interactive audio posts
called "Lexycasts," created by knowledgeable people called "Lexycasters."
As part of this free service, Lexy is introducing "NFL on Lexy" and
"College Football on Lexy" so sports fans can always keep up with their
favorite teams anytime they want, from anywhere they want.
"We launched NFL and College Football Lexycasts so sports fans can have
on-the-go access to customized highlights from the people who really
know their teams," said Tony Levitan, Lexy Co-founder and Creator of
Chaos, who along with Lexy Co-founder and Creator of Substance, Fred
Campbell, launched the digital greetings industry when they founded
early Internet success, Egreetings.
"In addition to sports, listeners can select from thousands of
Lexycasts, ranging from news updates to comedy bits, from food & wine
advice to weather reports," said Levitan. "Individual posts are
easy-to-digest, one-to-three minute segments hosted by an intriguing mix
of well-known and up-and-coming figures we call 'Lexycasters.' There's
no application to download, no files to sync. If you want what's
important to you, when and where it's important to you ... Just call Lexy."
"NFL on Lexy" includes the "2-Minute
Drill," a fast-moving wrap-up of the latest NFL action, as well as
team-specific Lexycasts for all 32 NFL teams. The Lexycasters include
some highly-regarded names in the sports industry. "New
England Patriots Audio Minute," for example, is hosted by Boston
sports legend, Jerry Trupiano, who also shares his years of sports
industry insight in "The View from the Booth" sports commentary
Lexycast. "Kansas
City Chiefs Audio Minute" and the provocative "DUKE-ing It Out"
commentary are products of Kansas City sports veteran, Duke Frye.
"Lexy gives you immediate access to the teams you care about," said
Trupiano. "Whether you want a preview of the game, the halftime
highlights, a post-game wrap-up, or a mid-week injury report, Lexy has
you covered wherever you are and whatever you are doing. It's a great
media source for all fans including the committed ones who are deep into
fantasy football as well as ones scattered across the globe who seek
timely access to news about their hometown teams."
"If you can make a phone call, you can use Lexy," said Frye. "While
there are all sorts of ways to learn more about your favorite sports
teams, nothing conveys the emotion and provides the impact of hearing
people you trust tell you about the game and the players. Lexy has the
pros covered and college football too, from Notre
Dame to the resurgent University of Houston
Cougars, from the Big
10 to the Pac
10."
