When I switched to FiOS from Cablevision, I was thrilled.  At that time Cablevision had held back MSG HD from FiOS.  They lost that in court.  So FiOS gained it.  At one time they had exclusice cariage of MSNBC.  They lost that.  Their only in house channel is local news News12.  Since FiOS doesn't air a FiOS1 in Westchester/Rockland, I wish they could cut a deal to carry News12.  I know it'll never happen.  But Verizon needs to pump up it's local news.

When FIOS first came to my area in Westchester.   I think 2009, the sales guys said FIOS 1 for Westerchester would be up in a few months.  They really used that as a selling point.  Haha 4 years later still no FIOS 1 for Westchester.

Trust me people, you are missing absolutely NOTHING without FiOS 1. I can't speak for News 12 content, but FiOS 1 is a pretty pitiful local news channel.
