Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts Announces Project Infinity: Strategy to Deliver Exponentially More Content Choice on TV
Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq:CMCSK) (Nasdaq:CMCSA), the nation’s
leading provider of entertainment, information and communications, today
announced three major content initiatives at the 2008 Consumer
Electronics Show. Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts unveiled the Company’s
plan to give consumers more than 1,000 HD choices in 2008, its strategy
to begin adding additional HD movies, and announced Project Infinity –
its vision to give consumers the ability to watch any movie, television
show, user generated content or other video that a producer wants to
make available On Demand.
"Project Infinity plans to give consumers the
best and most content they will find On Demand anywhere –
more HD, more sports, more movies, kids’
programs and network TV,” said Brian L.
Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation. "Project
Infinity builds on our commitment to bring more content to people across
all platforms at home and on the go, and we’ll
work with our partners, programmers and video producers to deliver on
this vision.” More Choice – Project Infinity
Project Infinity envisions ever-increasing customer choice that
continues the evolution of time-shifted viewing that began with the huge
success of Comcast On Demand. Comcast’s
vision is to give customers exponentially more content choices –
all available to consumers at the click of the remote without having to
buy any additional equipment.
Project Infinity is a logical extension of Comcast’s
television and online content strategy, which has fundamentally changed
the way people watch video. As Comcast’s On
Demand library has expanded to offer more than 10,000 selections each
month, viewership has grown dramatically, surpassing six billion views
since 2003. Comcast customers now are selecting On Demand 100 times per
second, with 275 million views monthly.
Comcast will support its plan for Project Infinity using its existing
fiber network and national IP backbone. The Company plans to create a
system of library servers that will efficiently serve VOD content to
consumers from several key locations across the country. This system
would enable Comcast to offer exponentially more VOD content.
More HD
Comcast plans to expand its current HD lineup beyond the hundreds of HD
choices available today, which is already more than any other provider
offers. By the end of the year, Comcast will make available more than
1,000 HD movies and TV shows every month, as well as the most popular
television networks in HD as they debut. HD content is the
fastest-growing category in Comcast’s On
Demand library.
More Movies
With 1,300 movie titles available each month, Comcast Digital Cable
customers already have access to more movies On Demand than they can
find anywhere else. Beginning next year, Comcast plans to offer more
than 6,000 movies a month, and more than 3,000 of them will be available
in HD. Today, Comcast Digital Cable customers can choose from new
releases as well as hundreds of free movies from Sony, MGM, FEARNet and
Encore as well as movies from premium networks like Starz, HBO, Cinemax,
Showtime and The Movie Channel – all
available at their fingertips with no additional equipment.
More Content Online
Today the company also launched Fancast.com, the first online
destination that will enable customers to find, manage and watch
television and movie content wherever it is available –
on Fancast, on television, online, on DVDs or in movie theaters. Fancast
will provide consumers with an easy way to manage their entertainment
experience as the number of viewing choices that are available across
platforms continues to grow rapidly. In addition, Comcast currently
makes more than 90,000 videos available at any time on Comcast.net.
