Verizon cut a retrans deal with CBS, but it’s not clear if this was the cash-for-carriage deal that CBS CEO Les Moonves has been promising in recent weeks. "With each subscriber that Verizon’s FiOS TV adds, CBS will directly benefit, and therefore, we look forward to our partnership as Verizon showcases our programming both in our O&O markets and across the country," Moonves said. The deal includes VOD content from shows such as "Survivor." — Verizon will expand to 300K HHs in VA, by the end of ’06. It also plans to expand its Fairfax County service by an added 73K HHs.
