Verizon has launched Yahoo Finance as a 24/7 channel on Verizon. I wonder will there be future distribution of this channel to compete with CNBC and Fox Business? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mu...ches-24-hour-programming-verizon-fios-release

Yahoo Finance launches as 24/7 channel on Verizon
- Thread starter zeebre12
- Start date
Article says it's on Verizon FIOS Channel 604. FIOS is a form of cable TV, no?
It's fiber optic. Some people use it as an alternative. However if this channel is to compete against CNBC and Fox News, it'll need wider distribution.
Somehow I don't expect DirecTV will pick it up.
That doesn't ever appear to be the consideration. But at some point, the marketplace will make that decision.
I'd imagine there's no shortage of businesses wanting to pitch their services to people who play the markets, no matter how few people are watching the channel. Sports channels would be in the same boat were all of their viewers gamblers, but there are still many people who watch sports purely for the entertainment. Hardly anyone without an interest in investing watches those business channels, right?
I don't know...some people view Jim Cramer as the investing equivalent of Emeril. Pow!
But yes I found it easy to get clients when I repped such a thing. Even without a lot of viewers.
Right now, we have...
CNBC (1989)
Bloomberg Television (1994)
FOX Business (2007)
Cheddar Business (2017 on linear TV)
Yahoo Finance (2020 on linear TV)
When the market crashes and the next Great Depression begins, all those stock tout services and money handlers will probably will be replaced by mom-and-pops selling pencils and apples from their street-corner HQs -- and retailers selling sharp instruments and incendiary devices for fleeced investors to attack the former advertisers with!

Comcast dropped CNN International from most of its systems 2 years ago. A few days ago, NBC News (owned by Comcast) announced it with start an international service.
