The Black Family Channel, America's only minority owned and operated, 24-hour cable network, has entered an agreement with Verizon.  Under the agreement, Verizon will carry the channel on Verizon Fios TV when it launches later this year. Black Family Channel joins other major and independent cable networks that will be part of Verizon's TV service. Verizon will offer a variety of culturally diverse programming, including content from such network groups as NBC Universal Cable, A&E Television Networks, Discovery Networks, Si TV and TBS, Inc.

"We are pleased to offer Black Family Channel, which features a family-friendly lineup of news and information, and original and lifestyle programming, that will appeal to African- American viewers," said Terry Denson, vice president of programming and marketing for Verizon Fios TV. "Black Family Channel advances our commitment to provide increased content choice and diversity to future Fios TV customers."

Verizon Fios TV will offer customers a competitive alternative to cable or satellite. Fios TV will deliver hundreds of digital video and music channels, high-definition programming, video-on-demand content, an interactive programming guide and other customer-friendly features via the company's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband network. Verizon is already constructing FTTP networks in parts of 15 states, more than half the states where it offers landline communications services.

This service may be a great alternative for those wanting to have one company handle their broadband internet and premium cable channels.
