Hallmark Movie Channel Joins Verizon FiOS

STUDIO CITY: The standard- and high-definition versions of Hallmark Movie Channel have secured distribution across Verizon’s FiOS TV footprint.

Verizon currently carries Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel in HD. Hallmark Channel is currently available in the U.S. to 87 million subscribers, while Hallmark Movie Channel is in 19 million homes.

“The response from our distribution partners over the past year to launch Hallmark Movie Channel has been overwhelming,” said Janice Arouh, the executive VP of network distribution and service for Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel. “The channel—available in both standard and high definition—is distinctive because it offers a quality viewing experience for the whole family, classic theatrical films, Hallmark Hall of Fame presentations and the best of Hallmark Channel original movies.”
