Deal covers all CNN/TNT/TBS Turner networks, as well as TNT HD.

___________________
I believe the only two major hold-outs at this point are Disney with ESPN/ABC and Viacom with MTV/Nick/CBS.

Verizon certainly is building up a strong suite of channels. Every deal that they have signed is for every channel a provider offers, so if they do sign agreements with every major (and minor) programmer then they will offer virtually every channel (with exceptions like internationals).
