New 'TV Planner' Guide on Comcast.net Helps Customers Navigate Expanding TV Choices

    PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Television viewers are increasingly
choosing to watch the shows they want on their schedules - a trend fueling the
incredible growth of Comcast's signature video-on-demand service, which has
now surpassed three billion program views since 2004.  Comcast, the nation's
leading provider of cable, entertainment and communications products and
services, also set a new monthly record for July, with customers watching 180
million ON DEMAND shows.

    As ON DEMAND tops three billion views - the equivalent of 10 programs
watched by every person in the United States - Comcast customers have made
music videos and programs (more than 540 million viewed), children's shows
(more than 330 million viewed), free movies (more than 180 million viewed) and
sports and fitness programs (more than 73 million viewed) some of the most
popular programming categories.
    "Customer response to ON DEMAND over the past few years has been
extraordinary," said Page Thompson, Senior Vice President and General Manager
of Video Services for Comcast.  "ON DEMAND is the ultimate viewing experience,
and as more customers try the service and we continue expanding our content
library with viewers' favorite shows from top networks and VOD-exclusive
programs, we expect ON DEMAND use to continue climbing."
    TV Planner on Comcast.net
    To help manage the growing number of viewing choices, Comcast also has
launched an online program guide - called TV Planner - on Comcast.net, the
company's award-winning broadband portal.  TV Planner integrates the advanced
search functionality available on the Internet today to make it even easier
for customers to discover and sort through all of the ON DEMAND and TV
programming options.
    Viewers can customize searches by title, category (such as movies, sports,
kids and HD) and genre (such as comedy, documentary and drama) to find the
programming that best matches their interests.  TV Planner is the first and
only online program guide that enables viewers to search ON DEMAND and HD ON
DEMAND.
