Deal Puts CBS Content on Verizon’s FiOS, VCast

Jan 15, 2009  •  Post A Comment

CBS and Verizon penned a long-term program carriage and retransmission-consent agreement, bringing both high-definition and standard-definition CBS content to Verizon’s on-demand FiOS TV service, the two companies announced Monday.
The new agreement provides FiOS TV with CBS shows including “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “NCIS,” “Survivor” and “Numb3rs” in HD on demand.
Verizon also receives VOD rights to CBS local newscasts in standard-def and HD.
The terms of the deal also bring full CBS content including news shows like “60 Minutes” to Verizon’s mobile VCast service.
“We are extremely pleased to have reached this broad long-term agreement that recognizes the value of our programming,” Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of CBS Corp., said in a statement.
“Verizon subscribers will have continued access to the No. 1 TV network, not only through FiOS TV, but also through VCast on the mobile phone, which enhances our profile on a key emerging platform,” Mr. Moonves said.
“Verizon is focused on providing the most comprehensive and exciting entertainment to our customers across all our services and platforms,” John Harrobin, Verizon’s senior VP of digital media, said in a statement.
“We’re pleased to extend our relationship with CBS, which helps us deliver the hit shows and compelling content our customers want to enjoy,” he said.
Cost and length of the deal were not discussed. Version FiOS TV is available in 14 states, with more than 1.6 million viewers.
