Delivers NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, ESPNU Networks and ESPN360 to Millions of Customers at No Additional Cost

Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq:CMCSA, CMCSK) has boosted its sports lineup both online and on TV, delivering even more sporting events and programming from all of the major professional sports leagues and the best of college sports to millions more customers at no additional cost. The company also is offering an extensive online sports package through the launch of ESPN360 on Comcast.net to complement its in-depth international, national and local On Demand sports content. This extensive sports offering gives Comcast customers thousands of live sporting events on multiple platforms through TV, On Demand and online.

"For no additional charge, we're giving compelling sports networks to millions of digital video customers and a fantastic online sports experience to all of our high-speed customers," said Derek Harrar, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Video Services for Comcast. "This change marks a major product enhancement by offering the best sports entertainment to customers on their terms whether on TV, On Demand or online."

Sports fans today demand more – they want to surround themselves with their favorite teams’ games, news and stats, which has greatly expanded beyond game day in the living room on the big-screen. Comcast continues to offer fans more of the experience they want across all platforms.
