Verizon FiOS TV Delivers 100 HD Channels in New York

August 1, 2008

Verizon announced it has launched its FiOS TV service - with 100 high-definition (HD) channels - to customers in New York City. The new channel lineup will also be offered to existing FiOS TV markets in the New York metropolitan area, including parts of Long Island, the suburbs just north of the city, and northern New Jersey.
Shawn Strickland, vice president of video solutions for Verizon, said "The capacity of our network means FiOS TV customers receive HD signals just as Verizon receives them, without any additional compression. This means picture-and-sound quality that's noticeably better, delivered on a network that's made for HD."
