Verizon expands its industry-leading FiOS TV service to more New York consumers, which is provided on the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network straight to customers' homes. Verizon is now taking orders for FiOS TV in parts of the Westchester County communities of Yonkers, Scarsdale and Bronxville, and on Long Island in the villages of Floral Park and South Floral Park. In addition, Verizon has launched FiOS TV in the following parts of the Town of Islip: Bayport, Bay Shore, Bohemia, Hauppauge, Holbrook, Oakdale, Ronkonkoma, Sayville, West Islip and West Sayville.

The company already offers FiOS TV in more than 120 New York communities through cable franchises that have been approved. "Residents of these communities now can join the other New Yorkers who have been given an outstanding, superior choice for their video entertainment," said Monica Azare, Verizon senior vice president for New York and Connecticut. "FiOS TV will bring something to consumers they've never had before, with incredible pictures and sound clarity and innovative new services - all from a brand they know and trust.

"Customers who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. We've harnessed the speed and capacity of fiber-based broadband with the power of broadcast to create a revolutionary, new entertainment experience," said Azare.

New York consumers can check online at www.verizon.com/ny/savebig to see if FiOS TV is already available in their area, or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV becomes available.
