The channel will be available in standard and high-definition, broadband, VOD and through Verizon’s VCast mobile service, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The deal doesn’t describe how the channel will be distributed, as part of a bundle or a-la-cart.
This is the first carriage deal for Epix, who would certainly like to move into the 60-million plus cable subscriber industry.
Epix HD also recently launched a website in private beta mode which apparently will offer streaming services.
