Another month, and another annoying carriage dispute threatens to block sports fans from watching a game (or games) on a provider they’re paying for.
At jeopardy this time is Sunday’s Patriots-Jets matchup, which will air on Fox affiliate Boston 25 locally … at least for those that aren’t Verizon Fios subscribers, that is.
For Verizon Fios subscribers? Well, for now you’re out of luck and should seek an alternative way to watch the 1 p.m. game. Fox programming — including Boston 25 — has been unavailable to Fios customers in Boston and Providence since Dec. 15. That’s when the channels were dropped from the cable provider’s lineup during a contract dispute with their owner, Cox Media, over carriage fees.
