Verizon has increased its video-on-demand offerings to more than 18,000 titles per month, which it said was nearly twice the size of the VOD library that was available from “the country’s largest cable provider.”

Just last month, Verizon added new HD on-demand content from HBO, Cinemax, Starz and The Movie Channel, along with an additional 140 hours of movies on-demand from Encore.

In addition, FiOS TV VOD will soon include BBC America, with a selection of original programming from the British network; high-def on-demand content from IFC, WE TV and AMC; and Halogen, a new TV network that targets socially conscious individuals.
