Decades is gone from FIOS, at least in the Philadelphia area. The channel was provided as an over the air sub-channel or the CBS station. Now, it's a sub-channel of ME-TV's affiliate but Verizon doesn't carry it. They do carry ME and other sub-channels, just not Decades. Bring it back.

Local stations have 2 options: 1) They can invoke must carry. This allows them to specify the channel number and it must be carried. But they don't get paid for their content 2) Negotiate for carriage. This is what most if the larger stations do. They neg...

You can also reach out to the station that carries it and ask that they work with Verizon to carry. it would probably need to be part of a contract negotiation

Verizon and the host station (decades is a sub channel) have to come to a carriage agreement. Have you reached out to the main station for their take?

Decades is a sub channel to over the air stations. They are not carried on just cable companies. Is Decades carried by a local over the air station near you? If not, then Verizon is not able to carry it.

Go here to see if there is a station in your area that carries it. https://www.decades.com/wheretowatch/ If no local channels, then FiOS won't carry. It is possible that the local channel in your area that did carry it has dropped it.

Is there a local OTA station that carries it? If not, then Verizon can't carry it as it is not a cable station.

Try reaching out to the local station that carries. They may be under must carry rule and would need to request it from Verizon

Did you read the previous post? Have you tried reaching out to the local channel in your area that carries Decades? If there isn't one, then Verizon will not carry it in your area.

This is mainly a peer to peer support forum. Verizon does not respond to posts here.As I stated earlier, have you tried reaching out to the local station that carries Decades in your area? Try posting on their social media page. If there is no local station in your area that carries Decades, then unfortunately, you are out of luck as Decades is not a cable channel.

Yes, bring it back!! Twilight Zone marathon is today and can't see it. Not to mention that was a channel worth watching.
