On Fancast, users can not only watch free content from top networks and studios, but also manage their entertainment experience through the site's specialized "Watch It" feature. The feature helps viewers learn where their favorite TV show and movie content is playing, and how they can access it.

"As consumers continue to embrace content across multiple platforms, Comcast is leading the way to provide content where viewers want to see it, on TV, on demand, online and on Fancast."

Fancast, which launched in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, will continue to add content and functionally to provide new and unique ways that consumers can manage their entertainment experience.

   On Fancast:   -- Watch more than 20,000 free long and short form TV and movie videos      from top networks and movie studios at any time, with an average of      5,000 new videos a month.    -- Find entertainment information on one of the largest entertainment      databases with over 11 million pages of information on 50,000      television shows, 75,000 photos, 80,000 movies and 1.2 million actors,      cast and crew.    -- Manage their viewing experience starting later this year by programming      their DVR recordings in advance, from their computers, and creating a      "Watch List" which will organize and catalogue upcoming programming,      set a personalized play list and send reminders to users about what      they should watch in the future.
