Thank you for your interest in Verizon's FiOS1. We launched FiOS1 Long Island and New Jersey on June 22nd.
Verizon has only been offering its FiOS1 service for a little over two years. We started in the D.C. area, where it’s available in Northern Virginia and Maryland.



In your area, as of the moment, we’re focusing on Long Island and North Jersey. We received your inquiry about NYC expansion and HD versions. Our plan is to take FiOS 1 beyond the current areas and launch them in full HD in the not too distant future . We’ll let you know when we have more to announce.


Thank you again and best regards...


Michelle Webb

Some of the b-roll on local and national stories is looking much better but some still looks like it was taken off a website low quality stream.

On a different note, more High School Football games are coming to FiOS including live games.

NEWARK, N.J. – September 10, 2009 –
Hometown football comes to North Jersey Friday (Sept. 11) when Verizon FiOS1 and the Star-Ledger begin co-producing high school football games of the week. The first game, Mendham versus West Morris, will be broadcast live 7:30 p.m. on FiOS1 New Jersey. These games won't be seen on cable TV.
In addition to Friday's Mendham-West Morris game, other key games to be co-produced by FiOS1 and the Star Ledger/NJ.com include the "Turkey Day Classic" between Montclair and Bloomfield high schools, which will be broadcast live on Thanksgiving Day at 10:30 a.m., and four New Jersey state high school football games, which will be broadcast on Dec. 3 and 4. Also, FiOS1 will air four more state championship games live from Giants Stadium on Dec. 6. There will be tape-delayed broadcasts of other games.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-23029549 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:43:13 EDT Re: FiOS1 For Long Island & northern NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-23000049 said by HarleyYac:

Manny,

The college and H.S. games aren't very popular unless of course your kid is playing on the team.

I think you would be surprised how popular high school sports is. It may not be a popular as it is in other states but if people know a good HS Football game will be broadcast on FiOS I'm sure people will watch.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-22975945 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:23:54 EDT Re: FiOS1 For Long Island & northern NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-22975163 said by nascar:

FiOS1 is more like a very localized news/sports (high school & some college) channel and that is fine.

But, if they want FiOS1 to take subs away from News12 then FiOS1 needs a direction shift.

I agree with this. Not that VZ should be a "me too" as the cable co's claim, but if the aim is to compete with News 12 (and they need to) I see no choice but to treat this as primarily a news channel.

If you want to add local sports to the mix they should really consider covering Long Island Ducks games. There is presently no TV coverage for them and that would be an interesting niche to be able to claim. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-22973776 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:34:14 EDT Re: FiOS1 For Long Island & northern NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-22973505

I think you're right. The 'news' is mostly during morning and evening rush hours and scattered throughout the weekend.

The college and H.S. games aren't very popular unless of course your kid is playing on the team.

With all of the other sources for breaking news the idea was to add a localized channel and not so much breaking news coverage...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-22973346 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:10:17 EDT Re: FiOS1 For Long Island & northern NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS1-For-Long-Island-northern-NJ-22964730

NEW YORK – September 2, 2009 –
Princeton and Hofstra university football, soccer and even water polo are coming to Verizon's FiOS1 channels on Long Island, and in New Jersey and the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. The two universities are joining Rutgers and Georgetown in bringing exciting collegiate sports programming to the Verizon FiOS TV network.
So much for this being primarily a news outlet. Everytime I pass by there seems to be some college game or talk show on anyway. Time's up for me on this one. I don't see a need to keep it as a favorite any longer.

Its almost as if people are tuning in to see if they are actually covering something they already heard about!! Not exactly the place to go for breaking news.
