This is the second year in a row Verizon has partnered with NBCUniversal and Macy’s to feature new innovations in broadcast and digital technology during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, including sponsoring a live-stream of the parade live on YouTube.
According to Verizon, it “has a strong relationship with first responders, since many of them choose the Verizon network due to its reliability even under extreme conditions. Verizon is committed to supporting them in return, and there’s no more appropriate day to thank them for what they do than on Thanksgiving.”
