Verizon Adds In-Market Yankees Streaming
FiOS subscribers able to stream games for additional fee

Customers of Verizon's FiOS television service will be able to stream live New York Yankees games in market for an additional fee. Verizon is the second MSO to ink a deal with the Yankees' YES Network and Major League Baseball Advanced Media, following an inaugural deal with Cablevision last month.
Customers that have both Verizon Internet and FiOS TV packages can purchase the ability to stream games live online for the rest of the regular season for $29.95, or a 30-day schedule between now and the end of the season for $19.95.
MLB sells a live broadband video package called MLB.TV, but the service blacks out all in-market games. The Cablevision and now Verizon deals are the first efforts to open up in-market streaming, albeit at an added price.
