Verizon’s Fios TV will add Afrotainment HD, which features general entertainment programming targeted to African-Americans, and African Box Office, featuring Afro-Caribbean movies, to its linear cable lineup as well as its FiOS Mobile App, said network officials.
"Our ever-expanding multicultural black programming lineup and library gives customers a front seat to all of the best multicultural Black entertainment available, with the convenience of watching what they want, whenever they want and where they want." said Terry Denson, vice president - FiOS TV content and programming in a statement. “And it’s all delivered over the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network, giving our subscribers unparalleled picture quality and programming choices for all their TV viewing."
