Verizon Fios Tunes Up TV Tier Tailored for Biz Customers

Verizon Fios has launched a new TV tier tailored for small- and mid-sized business customers that features a lineup of more than 45 channels, with a focus on news and business-focused channels.

That tier, called Current TV, includes CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and HLN, along with major local broadcast TV networks.

That tier starts at $40 per month with no contract, or $25 per month for one year and $30 per month in year two when those customers sign up for a two-year contract. Pricing on Current TV improved when TV is bundled with other Verizon services.

Current TV complements several other pay TV tiers for business customers, including Local TV (15-plus channels, starting at $25 per month under the no-contract price), as well as pricier packages that include lineups as large as 375 channels (145-plus in HD).
