TVPast Forums - Comcast to add WWE 24/7

Just for those of you who have Comcast this might be some good news, I have mediacom and have repeatedly asked them to add it since Cox in Nebraska has it on their cable systems.

Comcast To Launch WWE 24/7 On Demand

World Wrestling Entertainment® and Comcast, the nation#146;s leading provider of
cable, entertainment and communications products and services, will launch
WWE®#146;s subscription video on demand service, WWE 24/7 On Demand, this
summer. The new SVOD service will be available to nearly 10 million Comcast
digital cable customers with video on demand across the country.

This agreement paves the way for WWE 24/7 On Demand to be available to
millions of WWE fans nationwide, and establishes this service at the
forefront of digital television products in the subscription and VOD
categories. Comcast#146;s footprint adds coverage in 22 of the top 25 U.S.
markets, including several areas where WWE pay-per-view and live events have
historically performed extremely well.

#147;With this agreement, WWE 24/7 On Demand is now firmly established in the
on-demand platform across the United States,#148; said Peter Clifford, Vice
President, WWE Distribution and Affiliate Marketing. #147;We#146;re excited to be a
part of the Comcast ON DEMAND line-up, and look forward to some incredible
marketing and promotional opportunities for our fans in Comcast markets
throughout the next several months.#148;

#147;WWE 24/7 is perfect for SVOD because it#146;s non-linear content that you can#146;t
find anywhere else, it has an incredibly dedicated fan base, and the WWE has
proven expertise in delivering a targeted marketing message tothese fans,#148;
said Matt Strauss, Vice President of Content Acquisitions for Comcast. #147;We
are very excited to be teaming up with WWE and adding this great new content
to the thousands of on demand programs we offer our customers every month.#148;

WWE 24/7 On Demand delivers all the best wrestling #150; all day, every day #150;
from the world#146;s largest professional wrestling video library. Favorite
superstars of yesterday and today -- like Bruno Sammartino#153;, Andre the
Giant#153;, The Rock® and Triple H® -- are all available on demand as well as:

* Classic matches and Championship bouts, many of which have been available
only on pay-per-view until now

* Superstars of the WWE, NWA, WCW, ECW and more

* New, original specials and shows

In addition to Comcast, WWE 24/7 On Demand is distributed by Cox
Communications, Insight, Rogers Communications and RCN. WWE also recently
announced that WrestleMania® 23 will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 1,
2007, one of Comcast#146;s key markets.
