Epix, the new premium channel that’s a co-venture between Viacom, Lionsgate and MGM has signed its first distributor, Verizon’s FiOS, MediaWeek reports.

According to the article, the "deal gives Verizon a lot of flexibility to offer Epix a la carte and in bundles with its broadband offers. The two firms also plan to create a mobile Epix offer that they can market to Verizon’s VCast subscribers."
