MSNBC HD Joins FiOS Lineup

NEW YORK: Verizon has added MSNBC HD to its FiOS TV lineup, joining the service’s more than 560 all-digital channels.

FiOS TV features some 138 HD channels and nearly 18,000 monthly VOD titles. Available on channel 603, MSNBC HD is now airing in all FiOS TV markets.

"Delivering the content our customers want in high definition has always been a priority for Verizon, and making MSNBC HD available this month is no exception," said Terry Denson, the VP of content strategy and acquisition for Verizon. "Our subscribers can now enjoy MSNBC’s thought-provoking news and commentary—all with the high-def experience that FiOS TV can deliver."

Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, added, "Launching MSNBC HD on FiOS TV could not come at a better time. MSNBC has established itself as ‘The Place for Politics,’ achieving historic ratings success."
