Verizon's FiOS TV expansions: March 28, 2009

by Darren Murph Mar 28th 2009 @ 1:11AM

Not much to report on the FiOS TV front this week, but we couldn't resist passing along two nuggets that are definitely pertinent for folks looking for more local content or residing in Marblehead, Massachusetts. As for the former, a spokesman has reportedly revealed that Verizon wants to "offer local television services in markets beyond the Washington DC metropolitan area," and we're hearing that the New York market may be one of the first to take part outside of the DC area. As for the latter, the Marblehead Board of Selectmen have granted a cable franchise to the carrier, paving the way for FiOS TV to become available soon. Here's hoping for a bit more action over the next seven days!

I live in West Harrison, NY and the town has been in negotiations to get FiOS TV service for a few months now. On my way to a client, I saw 8 Verizon trucks on the same block and a new box being installed by one of them.
