Verizon can't give away their cable service for free out here because they refuse to carry that channel.
NY1?

Yeah, TimeWarner is promoting it for all they're worth, and highlighting people who tried FIOS, discovered NY1 wasn't available, and switched back.

FIOS isn't available where I am, but there are a plethora of Verizon trucks in the area working under the street, so that may be about to change.

And it doesn't matter what Verizon is willing to do: I can't see TimeWarner giving them access to a feed for the channel if Verizon did want to carry it.
