US television network CBS has come up with a different way to market its upcoming fall lineup of TV shows.

New York’s Grand Central Station will host Bluetooth-enabled billboards that beam show clips and trailers to people’s mobiles and PDAs.

The five prime-time shows to be promoted this way are “Shark”, “Smith”, “Jericho”, “The Class”, and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”,
