Comcast Named One of America's Top 50 Corporations for Multicultural Business Opportunities

Women and Minority-Owned Businesses Recognize Comcast's Diversity Initiatives for Second Consecutive Year

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA)(NASDAQ:CMCSK) was named one of America's Top 50 corporations for multicultural business opportunities in 2005 by DiversityBusiness.com, the largest organization of women and minority-owned businesses throughout the United States with more than 30,000 members. In 2005, Comcast spent more than 10% of its total spend with diverse suppliers.

Also known as the Div50, the honor recognizes the top 50 corporate buyers of diversity products and services throughout the country. Over 525,000 women and minority-owned businesses (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) had the opportunity to vote in the 2005 online election based on such factors as the volume, consistency and quality of business opportunities granted to women and minority-owned companies.

"It is an honor to be recognized for our commitment to diversity by the people with whom we conduct business on an ongoing basis," said Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen. "We are proud to be recognized for a second consecutive year for both the quantity and the quality of business that we award to our diverse suppliers. We believe strongly in providing equal opportunity to qualified suppliers."

Comcast's supplier diversity program includes a nationwide training program, which educates diverse suppliers on how to establish a business relationship with Comcast. In addition, the company encourages larger suppliers to either partner with a vendor of diversity or to spend with vendors of diversity themselves. Comcast also facilitates partnerships between vendors when a relationship may be beneficial for all parties involved.
