Hendersonville, TN - BlueHighways TV (BHTV), the multi-platform network that explores the people, stories, traditions and music of America, today announced that it has signed a carriage agreement with Verizon FiOS TV that will make BlueHighways TV's linear service available to FiOS TV subscribers later this year. BHTV's Video on Demand (VOD) service has been offered in Verizon homes since December of 2007.

"Verizon's FiOS TV markets represent an exciting addition for BlueHighways TV," said Stan Hitchcock, Chairman and CEO of BlueHighways TV. "These communities are connected and involved in the roots music and bluegrass scene, and this is the true backbone of BHTV - the fans, festivals and musicians. With BlueHighways TV's presence at regional roots music events nationwide, this is an exciting partnership."
