FIOS Channel line up in Mercer County, NJ

[buckspaul]

The FIOS Local Channel line should be interesting in Mercer County, NJ Since Comcast and Cablevision Carry both of the NYC and Philly locals im wondering what how Verizon is going to handle this? if you currently looking at the line up on their website its just says northern NJ it just has NYC channels only. They should carry both in that area and not one or the other.

Fios may not have to handle both just like Sat. does not. There may be no must carry rule with FIOS.

Mercer County will offer both NY and Phil. feeds. I work for Verizon and viewed the channels the other day in the West Windsor area.

The big question is whether or not FiOS will be carrying NY HD locals. If not I may have to check other options.
