In further pushing its "TV Everywhere" plan, Time Warner said Verzion FiOS TV customers will get free unlimited use of T-W cable network content online. Time Warner's Turner network, TNT and TBS, is included in the deal, which will also include access to mobile devices. T-W and Verizon made a similar deal for HBO back in February.

TNT and TBS shows such as "The Closer," "Southland," "Leverage," "Lopez Tonight" and more will be available free of charge within 24 hours after an episode airs on live television.

Verizon's FiOS customers who subscribe to both FiOS TV and FiOS Internet will be able to watch the programs on their personal computers or laptops using any broadband connection.

Verizon says it is working with a number of content providers to provide similar access -- including Fox News, CBS, MTV Networks, Hallmark Channel, Smithsonian Channel, the Tennis Channel and more.

Time Warner now says its TV Everywhere plan -- where paying cable consumers get TV content free online -- is now available to nearly 20 million customers through similar distribution deals.

Currently, FiOS TV has more than 565 channels including up to 140 HD channels and 18,000 monthly video-on-demand titles.
