Comcast Corp. announced plans to launch a package of family-friendly channels in early 2006. The new ‘Family Tier’ will include 16 G-rated programming networks including Disney Channel, Toon Disney, PBS KIDS Sprout, Nickelodeon/Nick Too, Nickelodeon GAS, Discovery Kids and National Geographic. Customers will also get religious and Hispanic programming, as well as local ABC, NBC, CBS, UPN, WB, FOX and PBS affiliates.
Designed to ensure safe television viewing for the whole family, the Family Tier will launch in the 99% of Comcast markets that have Digital Cable service. All 16 channels will also be available as part of other existing packages, but the convenience of having them bundled together will cost customers an average of $31.20 per month, with pricing and channel lineup varying by market.
More information about Comcast’s Family Tier will be available on the company’s web site, www.comcast.com.
