WPCNR MEDIA WEB. Special to WPCNR from a "White Plains CitizeNetReporter" November 12, 2007: A FIOS viewer in White Plains tonight reports that FIOS is now "alive" with the three White Plains-produced cable channels. Our observer reports:

John, while surfing the FIOS TV tonight I found that the 3 PEG stations are now available. I have no idea when Verizon or City Hall will notify the FIOS customers. The stations seem to be

45 - Public Access (White Plains Week, nice and clear at 7pm.)
46 - Nothing but I think this will be the WPPS station. (White Plains Public Schools)
47 - City (Common Council repeat shown at 7pm tonight).

This was the first I've noticed them, they might have been around for awhile, hopefully they will remain in service.

Friday Verizon-FIOS technicians were working intensely with White Plains Public Access technical staff to hook up the Public Access(Channel 76 and "The Mayor's Channel," Channel 75, Home of the Common Council poceedings and City Hall productions.

When Verizon was approved as a cable provider by the Common Council last April, they had promised the local public access channels would be on the FIOS network within 10 months and seven months later they are "on."
