I have noticed since switching from DirecTV to FiOS that there is much more paid programming on channels that I enjoy. What gives??

One of the things to consider with Direct TV. On some national channels you may be getting a different feed. An example would be for like USA channel 50. On Direct TV I would get an east coast feed. In Verizon, I get a west coast feed. So the programming would seem to be 3 hours off. So in the time slot that you are used to getting Monk, you may see the infomercial instead, with Monk 3 hours later.
But like bobbo said, Verizon doesnt control the programming, that comes directly from the channel itself.

I certainly hope you're kidding. Verizon has NO control over the program content of the channels (outside of their 30 second promos and local commericals). if you have a problem with infomercials you should be contacting those stations. Verizon is not the one airing infomericals.
Of course you could mean those horrible .tv channels, that when they aren't showing the same program over and over are showing the same lame infomericals on every .tv channel. But then again, Verizon is only carrying the channel (and they are the ONLY ones), they are not dictating the program contents.

Interesting, as we still had DirecTV for about a week. I could turn the same channel on DirecTV and have regularly scheduled programming, switch back to FiOS and had an infomercial.
