In addition to YES' Yankees telecasts, FiOS TV customers will have access to other YES programming including Emmy Award-winning post-game and interview shows.
"This agreement with Verizon ensures that more Yankees fans than ever before can watch YES' Emmy Award-winning Yankees telecasts," said Ray Hopkins of the YES Network. "Verizon customers will have unprecedented access to YES's deep programming lineup, whether it be Yankees-themed shows or our other critically acclaimed interview and magazine shows."
