A video rich environment coupled with fresh content and interactive community features augurs for a splendid viewing experience.

In a press release, Terry Denson, vice president of content strategy and acquisition for Verizon, said that as they added more and more programming to the FIOS TV lineup, they looked for channels like FEARnet that helped fill a specific genre.

He further added, “Making FEARnet available as a linear channel, in addition to our already existing VOD programming, means that our customers will have greater access to this exciting lineup of horror movies."

Peter Block, president and general manager of FEARnet was equally vocal, "We're excited to make FEARnet's unrivaled modern thriller, suspense and horror library available on Verizon FiOS TV.”

Block was confident that the new linear channel would extend FEARnet's broad devoted fan base of 26 million VOD household subscribers, offering consumers the best titles in the genre and making FEARnet a true multi-platform network.
