Partnership starts in November.
Verizon announced a partnership with Altice USA to bring hyperlocal, national, international and business news to Fios customers.
Starting in November, Fios customers will have access to content from Altice News properties, including local News 12 Networks, followed by content from i24NEWS and Cheddar in 2020. News 12 will be available in Long Island, the Lower Hudson Valley and New Jersey. Early next year, additional markets will launch in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Connecticut and the Hudson Valley.
“We’re all about choice for our customers, and these channel additions bring our customers even more options for robust news and hyperlocal offerings on the Fios channel lineup,” said Erin McPherson, head of content strategy for Verizon, in a statement.
