Verizon FIOS Customers Won't Get Some Delmarva TV Stations

WBOC logo

Those who use Verizon FIOS to view WBOC, FOX 21 and Antenna TV are out of luck.

WBOC announced negotiations over the last six months have failed to hammer out an agreement.

This will effect around 20-thousand people who use the service across Delmarva.

WBOC said that the failure of Verizon to come to an agreement was a sign that the service did not recognize the value of the stations.

WBOC, Fox 21 and Antenna TV will remain free over the air with an antenna as well cable and satellite providers.
