MSG Networks and Verizon Fios said Fios customers who get MSGN networks as part of their pay-TV package can now use the MSG GO live streaming and video-on-demand platform to watch live events and other programming. MSGN launched the app in late 2014, with Optimum as its first affiliate. Other affiliates are XfinityTV, RCN and Service Electric Broadband Cable. New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, New York Liberty and New York Red Bulls games are shown on MSG networks.
