It's Blogtastic -- Comcast Launches a Company Blog

In addition to explaining what the colors in the on-screen viewing guide mean*; why the "Twilight" VOD release is a big deal; and, the reason the site exists in the first place, the blog has a distinct home for the cable company's plentiful policy issues.

Comcast's Senior Vice President, External Affairs and Public Policy Counsel Joe Waz made quick use of the blog today by setting the record straight on news coverage that suggested that the company has specifically bought into the RIAA's three-strike plan with ISPs. Waz declares that Comcast has "no plans to test or implement a so-called 'three strikes and you’re out' policy."

Also posting to the blog, is Sena Fitzmaurice -- Comcast's Senior Director for Corporate Communications and Government Affairs. Fitzmaurice has posted on Julius Genachowski's nomination as FCC chair and a NCTA white paper on broadband in unserved areas. We will watch for the always professional, but selectively sharped-tongued policy communications lead to step up the rhetoric as the blog matures out of its infancy.

Does anyone know if Comcast will soon carry The Ski Channel. I'm think of switching services.

Still haven't figured out The Ski Channel issue on Comcast. It is so frustrating becasue I am an avid snow enthusiast but can't watch The Ski Channel? Has anyone heard anything.

I am having the same problem as well. Comcast is my carrier and they don't carry it. I'm sick of this. It's time to unite. Please write Comcast demanding this channel.

This winter I was stuck and could not find a good place to get away to. The actual website for The Ski Channel helped quite a bit. They even provided me with a good weather forecast for my trip. Definitely well worth checking it out.

I remember stumbling across this channel some two years ago when the site was little more than just a postcard preview of things to come. Now look at them. The Ski Channel is poisted to take over outdoor activities. Keep up the good work Ski Channel.

I have called Comcast a thousand times and they say that there isn't a ski channel. Wow, way to be on top of the television world Comcast!
