So I ran a fight against a necromancer yesterday and he used channel energy for a great effect. However after the fight one of the players pointed out to me that he thinks the necromancer (by that I mean a wizard specializing in necromancy, not anything like a 3rd party class or anything) can only expand his channel energy with his extra feat (command undead or turn undead), not in the same way a cleric can do so (that is the energy burst that hrams living creatures or heals undead). Is my player correct?

Yes.
Power over Undead (Su): You receive Command Undead or Turn Undead as a bonus feat. You can channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier, but only to use the selected feat. You can take other feats to add to this ability, such as Extra Channel and Improved Channel, but not feats that alter this ability, such as Elemental Channel and Alignment Channel. The DC to save against these feats is equal to 10 + 1/2 your wizard level + your Charisma modifier. At 20th level, undead cannot add their channel resistance to the save against this ability.
Added bold for emphasis.
