CIVIL RIGHTS ON DEMAND
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
After talks with a group identified as "35 civil rights leaders," Verizon says it will add a "community studio" feature to its FiOS video service. The studio will consist of a library of on-demand public interest and civil rights content. That will be in addition to the public, educational and government channels FiOS already provides per its franchise agreements with local communities. Among the groups that will get to put content on the channel are the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, American Association for People with Disabilities, Black Leadership Forum, and U.S. Distance Learning Association.
