Verizon Communications will add more than 60 channels to its FiOS lineup this summer, including at least 25 high-definition channels, Multichannel News reports. Among the channels to be offered in HD are Lifetime, Animal Planet, TLC, Science Channel, Smithsonian Channel and Outdoor Channel, as well as 5 HD channels from Starz Entertainment and Showtime Networks, the newspaper says. The move furthers Verizon’s goal to reach 150 HD linear channels by the end of this year, the newspaper notes.
