The News 12 internet site is supplied free of cost to subscribers of Cablevision, Charter Spectrum, Comcast, or Service Electric. This has been used as a advertising device in opposition to clients signing up for Verizon FiOS, or satellite tv for pc carriers DirecTV or Dish Network, which are on hand in many of the areas News 12 covers. At one factor Cablevision even made the network's slogan, "Only on Cable. Never on FiOS. Never on satellite." (In some ads, FiOS used to be substituted with "phone corporation television" and in most areas, "Cable" was once substituted with Cablevision in areas the place Cablevision was once solely supplied as a cable provider, highly Long Island). In response, Verizon FIOS partnered with RNN to create FiOS1 News in June 2009 and later elevated to the Lower Hudson Valley in 2014, which may want to be seen solely by way of FiOS customers. Unlike News 12, FiOS1's internet site used to be no longer in the back of the paywall and used to be open to all users, with the exception of its stay broadcast (which was once solely provided to FiOS customers).[citation needed]
