National Geographic HD Debuts on Verizon FiOS

Without much fanfare, National Geographic HD has made its carriage debut, showing up on Verizon FiOS TV channel lineups in various markets throughout the U.S. Programming includes Naked Science, MegaStructures, Seconds From Disaster and Explorer. No word from Nat Geo on other carriage deals, but for those keeping track, FiOS TV now boasts a total of 24 HD channels.

Also bowing on FiOS TV is MTV's MHD, which the folks at Verizon somewhat inaccurately refer to as MTV HD. MHD's only cable carriage deal is with Cox, although it hasn't yet been added across all the Cox cable systems.
