TV as You’ve Never Seen It Before: Verizon Launches FiOS TV in 106 New Jersey Communities

The future of television arrived in New Jersey Thursday (Jan. 11) as Verizon announced that its industry-leading FiOS television service is now available to consumers in 106 communities in the state, with more soon to come. “This is great news for New Jersey consumers, who’ve waited far too long for true competition and a superior choice of television service for the home,” said William Foshay, senior vice president and general manager, Verizon New Jersey. “Verizon’s FiOS TV will bring something to consumers they’ve never had before: incredible picture-and-sound clarity and innovative new services – all from a brand they know and trust.”

In New Jersey, Verizon’s FiOS TV is available now to approximately 250,000 households in parts of 106 communities in Bergen, Camden, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset and Union counties. The service will soon be expanded to hundreds of thousands of additional households in more than 100 additional communities. Under the state’s new streamlined video franchise law, Verizon has announced plans to offer FiOS TV over its all-fiber network in more than 300 communities in the next few years.

“We’re looking forward to quickly offering consumers in New Jersey the industry’s absolute best product in home entertainment,” said Foshay. “We’re delivering a product that customers are demanding and no other company can match: a superior TV service with more channels, more choice and more value, delivered on an all-fiber, next-generation network. Customers will also be delighted with the new interactive features we announced this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, including our new interactive media guide that makes watching FiOS TV easier and better than ever.”
