Verizon Loses 52,000 Pay TV Subscribers in Second Quarter


The telecom giant, led by CEO Hans Vestberg, reports its latest financials.

Telecom giant Verizon on Thursday reported that it lost 52,000 net pay TV subscribers for its Fios video service in the second quarter, compared with a loss of 37,000 in the year-ago period and a loss of 53,000 in the first quarter.
Fios competes with cable and satellite TV services. The subscriber losses were "reflecting the ongoing shift from traditional linear video to over-the-top offerings," Verizon said.
The company's broadband service added 28,000 subscribers in the second quarter, compared with 43,000 in the year-ago period.
After its acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo, Verizon created a new division, Oath, which was then expanded further to become Verizon Media Group and encompass all of its media and advertising businesses. For the second quarter, Verizon Media, led by Guru Gowrappan, said its revenue fell 2.9 percent from the year-ago period to $1.8 billion. "Gains in native and mobile advertising continue to be offset by declines in desktop advertising," the company said.
Verizon, led by CEO Hans Vestberg, had for some time planned to launch a live TV streaming service for young wireless users who are cord cutters or cord nevers, but it then decided to instead offer other over-the-top (OTT) services via its platform.
In that vein, the company with its first-quarter earnings announcement unveiled a partnership with Google's YouTube TV streaming service, serving as a reseller. The companies said Verizon would "also offer unique, high-value YouTube TV promotions to customers across platforms" including Fios TV and Verizon's wireless services.
Verizon management has in the past reiterated that the company wasn't eyeing any major content mergers or acquisitions to increase scale against rival phone and digital players.

How to prepare Menemen

 Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) Time :25 minutes Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer’s market. Be creative with this dish: Add shallots, chiles, fresh herbs or Aleppo pepper, or treat it as purists do, with only tomatoes and eggs. Cook slowly, stirring infrequently, until the eggs form billowy puffs. You can serve topped with feta cheese or lamb sausage, with any warm flatbread on the side. INGREDIENTS Yield : 4 servings 4tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1medium white onion (about 10 ounces), peeled and diced ½teaspoon dried oregano, plus more as needed ¼teaspoon Aleppo pepper, plus more as needed Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1mild but flavorful long green pepper (such as Turkish carliston, Hungarian banana or Anaheim), stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded, ...

How to prepare Greek Chicken With Cucumber-Feta Salad

Greek Chicken With Cucumber-Feta Salad TIME : 30 Minutes  With chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, and tzatziki, this dinner has the flavors of a Greek combination plate but is simplified for the home cook. Boneless chicken thighs are covered with herby, garlicky yogurt before being seared until the insides are soft and the outsides are crusty and caramelized. To make tomatoes and cucumbers taste their most vibrant, extra yogurt is added after they have had time to drain with salt. Feel free to add other components of Greek salad or tzatziki, such as romaine lettuce, bell peppers, mint or dill, toasted walnuts or thinly sliced red onion, in addition to feta and olives, which lend saline bits to the creamy, crunchy salad. Eat with toasted pita or lemon potatoes. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 servings 1½cups plain Greek yogurt 3garlic cloves, finely grated Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) Black pepper 1teaspoon dried oregano or mint 2pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, patted dry 1½pounds cucum...

How To Prepare Meatloaf

  Meatloaf Time : 1½ hours During hard times, traditional meatloaf was developed as a delectable method to use up leftover vegetables and stretch meat further. The original version of this quick meatloaf recipe combines ground beef, pork, and veal with basic ingredients from the pantry, but you should feel free to substitute your chosen proportion of meat, such as half beef and half pork. A meatloaf made using milk-soaked bread will be soft, and baking it freeform on a baking sheet rather than in a loaf pan gives the tomato glaze more surface area to caramelize as it bakes. Slices that are left over can be crisped in a skillet and added to a salad or a sandwich. Alternatively, save one uncooked bread in the freezer for the next time you need to prepare dinner. simply thaw the night before and bake as directed. INGREDIENTS Yield: 6 to 8 servings (2 loaves) FOR THE MEATLOAF 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups...
