More than a year after its conception, the Epix movie network, led by New York media giant Viacom, has secured a toehold on television, adding a new competitor to the crowded pay-TV business.
Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman says Epix landed a deal with Verizon Communications' Fios TV service, which will put the channel in some of the 2.5 million homes that subscribe to the service.
