A Verizon Wireless press release cited “a total of nine named storms expected this season by The Weather Channel” in a statement assuring customers that they can count on Verizon network centers to withstand extreme weather events. But Verizon FiOs customers can’t count on getting The Weather Channel, since it was dropped by the cable provider in March. Still, “We appreciate that at least Verizon consults The Weather Channel, and our deep and always live hurricane experts, for their wireless customers," Shirley Powell, EVP, marketing and communications for The Weather Company, tells Cynopsis.
Subscription TV companies didn’t exactly ace the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index. In the annual survey of 70,000 customers, subscription TV tied Internet service providers with a score of 63 out of 100, the worst of the 43 industries covered. “There was a time when pay TV could get away with discontented users without being penalized by revenue losses from defecting customers,” said Claes Fornell, ACSI chairman and founder but those days are over.”
