| NFL Network Moving
Today, Sunday 6/25, I saw on the channel info for NFL Network that the channel is moving from the Sports Package to the "FIOS TV Premier" lineup on August, 1st.
I just wanted to see what that means. Which is the "TV Premier" package? I checked the channel lineup online and I can't see which package the premier package is.
Thanks,

Falls Church, VA | I beleive that moves it into the standard 180(ish) channels and out of the "premium" package. |

Will NFL Network HD also be part of that package? I hope G4TV (not a sports channel)also be part of the premium package.
Thanks 4 the info. |

Thanks, FIOS Premier is their core package (consists of everything that is neither a pay channel or in another tier). It's $39.95 monthly. By moving it out of their Sports tier and into the core tier, they are giving you one more channel for your money. |

G4 is currently in the sports tier, though it would make sense for it to be moved to the core (Premier) tier.
For those of you with cable, Premier is directly equivalent to basic+standard+digital cable. |

@myvzw.com | Always thought it was strange that I don't have the NFL Channel but I can watch the VOD. |

From articles I have read in BusinessWeek, etc, NFL was pushing to have NFL network in any basic package for all operators that carried the channel. I am sure there was a clause in the carriage agreement with VZ that stated if the NFL Network was to carry NFL games, the channel would be moved to the basic cable tv package. As stated previously, Dish Network has it (NFL HD) on the basic package (Bronze HD) and I am sure others if they haven't already will move the channel, if they currently carry it. |
