Verizon FiOS TV Debuts NFL Network

Verizon Communications Inc. announced on Wednesday that the NFL Network, previously part of the FiOS TV Sports package, will move to FiOS TV Premier, its popular 190-plus, all-digital programming package.

In addition to NFL Network's regular programming, Verizon carries NFL Network's high-definition feed and NFL Network on Demand.

"It was an easy call to make NFL Network, with its live games, football news and features, available to more FiOS TV customers," said Terry Denson, vice president of FiOS TV content strategy and acquisition. "And as more viewers embrace high-definition TV, they can watch their favorite NFL football teams in stunningly brilliant high definition on our fiber-optic network. It's another way we're making FiOS TV an even greater value for our customers."

NFL Network will televise 168 games nationally during the 2006 season, including 52 preseason games and a regular-season primetime game package, this Thanksgiving.

FiOS TV provides all-digital programming, two dozen high-definition channels, up to 2,500 on-demand titles and FiOS TV Widgets, which supplies one-touch, on-demand access to real-time local weather and traffic. FiOS TV is delivered over Verizon's FTTP network.
