Verizon Brings Starz HDTV on Board for FiOS TV

Verizon announced this week that it has signed a carriage agreement with Starz Entertainment Group for Starz premium movie channels including Starz HDTV and Starz On Demand. Verizon's fiber-based FiOS TV is set to launch later this year and will offer Starz HDTV at no additional charge for Starz subscribers (essentially the same deal as is offered to Starz customers on existing cable and satellite platforms).

Verizon also stated that it is in the process of negotiating with other premium services for FiOS TV.
