"Our on-demand library is usually about movies and TV series, and now, music and performances have an important place there, too,” said Joe Lawson, Verizon director of video content and acquisition. “Music sets the mood and takes you to memories directly linked to songs or concerts. This Virtual Music Festival allows consumers to bring up the memories with those songs and couple them with videos and concerts, free and on demand, without having to find a parking space or spend a small fortune on tickets and concessions.”
FiOS subscribers can go to channel 900 to find the Virtual Music Festival On Demand folder to select their videos and performances of choice. In addition to the videos and performances, this folder will also include a special Essence Music Festival folder where videos and content with key performers from this year’s event can be viewed.
