Comcast Launches A&E Networks’ VOD Fare in HD

By Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 6/27/2007 11:59:00 AM

A&E Television Networks’ video-on-demand fare is now available in HD to Comcast digital-cable subscribers.

The AETN deal, announced Wednesday, makes Comcast the first cable operator to offer A&E HD VOD content, which will encompass five hours per month, 80%-100% of which will be refreshed, according to network officials.

The content, accessible through Comcast On Demand, will be available in both the A&E and HD On Demand folders.

Available titles will come from A&E’s real-life series and justice genres, including such shows as Gene Simmons Family Jewels and The First 48.

“We are delighted to launch A&E HD on demand with Comcast,” AETN executive vice president of distribution David Zagin said in a prepared statement. “We are committed to providing our distributors with opportunities to bring A&E HD programming to their viewers whenever they want to watch it.”
