FIOS NEEDS TO ADD MORE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING

[rtejiram]

VERIZON FIOS TV NEED TO ADD FRANCE 24, TRACE TV AND B4U MUSIC.

FRANCE 24 IS BROADCAST IN ENGLISH, FRENCH AND ARABIC AND HAS UNBIASED INTERNATIONAL NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND THEY ALSO HAVE EXCLUSIVES.... THEY ARE WATCHED ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR FREE. THE ONLY CARRIER IN THE US IS DISHNETWORK BUT THEY CHARGE AN ARM AND A LEG FOR THIS CHANNEL..

TRACE TV IS WONDERFUL MUSIC CHANNELS WITH MUSIC FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD ITS BROADCAST ARE IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH AND COVERS THE LATEST IN ALL GENRE OF MUSIC AND THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO VERIZON LINE UP OF MUSIC TELEVISION.

B4U MUSIC IS THE NUMBER ONE CHANNEL AROUND THE WORLD FOR BOLLYWOOD MUSIC VIDEOS AND NEWS. ITS A WIDELY WATCHED TV STATION AND THE NUMBER ONE SOUTH ASIAN TV CHANNEL.

ALL THESE CHANNELS ARE AVAILABLE ON DISHNETWORK AND THEY MAKE A REAL GOOD PROFIT ON THEM AND VERIZON NEEDS TO ADD THEM JUST NOT TO COST AND ARM AND A LEG.....

PLEASE ADD THESE CHANNELS AND YOU WONT REGRET IT..

I too would like to see more international programming (in English) but I doubt it will be a priority for Verizon.  I watch France 24 (English) from the "Live Station" option on my Roku box.  I agree with you, it is a great news channel.  At least we get BBC World News on FiOS.

**bleep** OFF CUSTOMER,

I TURNED THE CHANNEL TO CHECK OUT SOME INTERNATIONAL NEWS AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE CHANNEL IS NO LONGER THERE  WHY??.. THEN I KEPT TURNING ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT OTHER NEWS CHANNELS ARE MISSING ALSO.. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS ??? THERE WAS ANOTHER CHANNEL CALL BRIDGES TV THAT WAS NEWS AND INFORMATION FROM THE EAST AND MIDDLE EAST IT'S GONE AND THEN NO LINK TV WHICH WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT BUT  NO...THEN WE HAVE ONLY ONE SHOWING OF THE SHOW "DEMOCRACY NOW." ALSO SHOWN ON LINKTV...  

NOW WE HAVE A CHINESE NEWS CHANNEL AND THE BBC CHANNEL WHICH IS BASICALLY FOX NEWS ENGLAND.. THE QUESTION IS WHO IS THE GENIUS WHO DECIDED THAT THEIR VIEWERS NEED MORE BULL**bleep** REALITY SHOWS INSTEAD OF REAL NEWS SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE INFORMED DECISIONS OR WAS IT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ARE ONLY WATCHING ONE VERSION OF THE NEWS WHICH CAN BE TOTALLY SLANTED IN ONE DIRECTION???  

I LIKE MY FIOS BUT I LIKE MY NEWS MORE , SO I SAY TO VERIZON , PLEASE RETHINK THIS MOVE TO AS YOU SO CALL STREAMLINING,  AND BRING BACK SOME INFORMATION TYPE VIEWING BECAUSE THAT WHAT CUSTOMERS REALLY WANT AND WILL LOOK TO FIND IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
