Comcast Celebrates Holidays by Giving On Demand Movie to Indianapolis Customers

Nearly 80 Holiday Films and Hundreds of Other Movies Available Through Comcast On Demand

FISHERS, Ind., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast, one of the nation's leading providers of entertainment, information and communications products and services, today wished its Indianapolis area digital cable customers a happy holiday season by giving them the gift of an On Demand movie to enjoy at their convenience. Starting this week, the company began mailing its eligible customers a coupon redeemable for an On Demand movie anytime before April 30, 2010.

"The holiday season is a special time to spend with family and friends, and we're happy to bring our local customers a little holiday cheer by giving them an On Demand movie as a small token of our appreciation," said Scott Tenney, Senior Vice President of Comcast's Indianapolis Region. "With On Demand, families can spend time together watching their favorite holiday classics or new releases right from the comfort and convenience of their own homes."

Comcast currently offers its Indianapolis area customers thousands of standard and high definition On Demand movie selections every month to watch whenever they want, ranging from free movies and blockbuster hits that appear on the same day as their DVD release, to classics and family favorites. Currently, Comcast's On Demand library is featuring a holiday collection of nearly 80 top holiday films, including How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Elf, A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Home Alone.

In addition to the holiday movies, Comcast offers a wide variety of ways for families in the Indianapolis area to get in the spirit of the season, including:

-- Holiday music such as Deck the Halls, Jingle Bell Rock, Auld Lang Syne
and Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
-- Holiday karaoke with seasonal songs to brighten up any party or get
together like Winter Wonderland, Twelve Days of Christmas, Frosty the
Snowman and Joy to the World
-- Fun for kids with seasonal activities from crafts to baking and
puppetry to drawing on Activity TV
-- Holiday entertaining tips and ideas from Martha Stewart On Demand
-- The ever popular Yule Log, which recorded 3.8 million views last year
alone

Comcast's On Demand library, which can be accessed by simply pressing the On Demand button on the remote control, currently offers more than 17,000 programs a month, including more than 2,600 HD choices. With over 13 billion views to date, On Demand delivers a wide variety of programming, featuring everything from movies, music and top TV shows to the most popular kids, sports, lifestyle and local programs available anytime, anywhere, with the ability to pause, fast forward and rewind selections.

**Editor's note: Some Comcast digital cable customers have chosen not to receive promotional mailings from us and, as a result, we are prohibited from sending them the On Demand movie coupon.
