Time Warner, Verizon To Launch Online TV Content

Beginning in June 2010, FiOS TV customers will automatically receive free, unlimited online access to popular content from Time Warner's Turner networks - TNT and TBS - with plans to bring the same content to mobile devices in the near future.

Verizon is working with a number of content providers to test and make available soon to FiOS customers a significant amount of additional online programming from a variety of content providers, including FOX News, CBS, MTV Networks, Hallmark Channel, Smithsonian Channel, the Tennis Channel and more.

These channels will join other online video services already available to FiOS customers. These services include Time Warner's HBO, which launched HBO Go to FiOS customers in February 2010.

Mike Ritter, chief marketing officer of Verizon, said: “Consumers want to access video any time, any place, and Verizon continues to expand our high-quality entertainment services, providing FiOS customers with access and control. We will continue to work with companies like Time Warner and other early adopters to remain a leader in delivering the best content over the best network.”

Jeff Bewkes, chairman and CEO of Time Warner, said: “Verizon has been a great partner as we've explored new ways for their subscribers to access and interact with our popular networks. TNT and TBS will now be available online to FiOS subscribers at no added cost. In less than a year, we've been able to launch our vision of delivering TV Everywhere to nearly 20 million customers nationwide.”
