Verizon FiOS TV Adds HGTV, Food Network, LMN to HD Lineup

NEW YORK, April 23: Verizon FiOS TV has boosted its lineup
of national high-definition programming with the addition of three channels:
HGTV HD, Food Network HD and LMN (Lifetime Movie Network) HD.

The three channels will be available in all FiOS TV markets
by the end of this week, bringing the total number of HD channels to at least
27 in most markets, depending on the number of local channels that broadcast in
HD. FiOS TV is currently available in parts of California, Delaware, Florida,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and
Virginia. FiOS TV subscribers with an HD-capable TV and an HD set-top box will
receive the three new channels at no additional cost.

HGTV HD and Food Network HD air some of the same popular
shows that appear on the standard definition networks including Cash in the
Attic, Decorating Cents, Barefoot Contessa and Everyday Italian. LMN, the second highest-rated women's network on
basic cable behind sister network Lifetime Television, offers nearly 200
different movie titles each month, including exclusive film and cable
premieres.

"By adding HGTV HD, Food Network HD and LMN HD to our
FiOS TV lineup, we're enriching the customer experience for our HD customers,
who now can enjoy their favorite shows on these channels in brilliant HD and
digital surround sound," said Terry Denson, Verizon’s VP of FiOS TV content
and programming. "With these high-definition networks, Verizon continues
to deliver the breadth of content that consumers want in a way that best fits
their lifestyles."

programming that includes more than 400 total channels, 8,600 video-on-demand
