Comcast expands HDTV access

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/2/2001 3:20:00 AM

Beginning this month, 1.3 million Comcast Cable customers in parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware will have access to any high definition programming broadcast by their ABC, NBC and CBS affiliates, as well as by HBO and Showtime.

Over the next several months, the company plans to offer HDTV service to customers in areas of central and northern New Jersey as well.

Comcast digital cable customers with HDTV-ready sets will be able to rent or purchase a set-top box to view over-the-air channels broadcast in HD.

The company has invested millions in the complete upgrade of their fiber-optic cable network, according to Michael Doyle, president of Comcast Cable's Eastern division.
