Sports Lovers and Entertainment Buffs Alike Can Find Thousands of Viewing Options Just a Click Away on Comcast On Demand

PHILADELPHIA, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast, the nation's leading provider of entertainment, information and communications, announced its upcoming roster with special NCAA(R) March Madness(R) programming features. High-definition NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship sports-themed specials from CBS Sports and movies take center court and join Comcast's exploding library of new and current entertainment choices on its signature video-on-demand (VOD) service. These choices include Hollywood hits -- some of which are available the same day the films hit DVD; hot television series that premiere on VOD at least one week before airing on linear; and thousands of additional VOD selections available each month.

"With game highlights available in HD On Demand, NCAA March Madness fans need not worry about missing the action while at work. It's one more example of the power of On Demand, this time for sports enthusiasts," said Derek Harrar, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Video Services for Comcast. "Whether you love great movies, TV shows or sports, Comcast always offers more to watch, on your schedule."

These special March Mania features and the other new viewing choices are part of Comcast's Project Infinity, the company's commitment to deliver exponentially more content choice on TV, including more high-definition (HD), sports, movies, kids' programs and network TV shows. Currently, Comcast's VOD lineup offers more than 10,000 selections each month and Comcast customers now are selecting On Demand more than 100 times per second, with about 275 million views monthly.
