| I meant News 12 in Staten Island and I do know that Staten Island Community Public Access Channels will be on by end of June , beginning of July . Since I don't have FIOS, I will do my searching of how and what FIOS 1 is at other houses that people have FIOS I know, and I will know about it |

Any word on if they plan to offer newscasts or will it just be news updates? |

Franklin Square, NY | Fios1 is on right now on Long Island. There is no audio, something is wrong already, but you can tell it's all just promos anyway that say coming soon. |

My wife complains regularly about how much she misses cablevisions news12. I hope this is the beginning of something that will come close to that. I guess we'll start to get a better idea on Monday. |

FiOS1 was launched this morning with a 'coming soon' loop. Live content will start sometime next week. There will be a unique LI and NJ feed that will have local news, traffic, weather etc... It's meant to compete with News 12 for now and NY1 is the next target... |

Matt,
The "Promo" has "snip it's" from what I would think were fron the "Interviews" of the probable reporters. One was a a Traffic report that was local to NNJ and New Jersey is "Splashed" all over the place on the promo. So is SEEMS pretty local.
This is the only reason some folks I know have yet switch over from CV. We shall see:)

Looking forward to it! HD too? The school closings and traffic were the most important thing we used News12 for. Their weather was the most inaccurate ever! |

I can't tune to channel 501 here. The STB goes to 499 when I try. There I get a Verizon logo screen with no programing info available.
The local weather channel at CV. It would be nice if FiOS1 filled that void. |
