NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- REVOLT, an American-music-oriented network designed to be "for the artists, by the artists," is joining the Verizon FiOS TV lineup in October.

"REVOLT is a crowd-pleasing addition to the FiOS TV lineup," said Terry Denson, Verizon's vice president for content acquisition and strategy. "As we continue to add or renew channels in a way that reflects customers' actual viewing patterns, we are pleased to welcome REVOLT into the homes of our customers, and we are excited to see their response to REVOLT's fresh take on music programming."
