Verizon Shuts Off Analog In Maryland, Northern Virginia

Move Continues Pledge to FCC to Eliminate Analog Service for FiOS TV

By Todd Spangler -- Multichannel News, 7/14/2008 10:46:00 AM

Verizon, as part of its promise to federal regulators to eliminate analog TV service for FiOS TV, will stop distributing analog versions of broadcast signals in Maryland and Northern Virginia starting July 21.

The telco told the Federal Communications Commission last year it would stop sending analog television signals to customers, which it provided so that those channels could be viewed without a set-top box.

Verizon has already phased out analog service in other areas, including New York,  New Jersey and Massachusetts.

  If cable providers have to provide both analog and digital service through 2012, why doesn't Verizon's FiOS service have the same requirement?
