PHILADELPHIA & BURBANK, Calif. -- June 14, 2012

Comcast and Disney/ABC Television Group today announced that Xfinity TV
customers can now access three new authenticated TV+ products – WATCH Disney
Channel, WATCH Disney XD and WATCH Disney Junior -- at home or on-the-go --
via a suite of new innovative apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and online
at WATCHDisneyChannel.com, WATCHDisneyXD.com and WATCHDisneyJunior.com. The
three new WATCH products are the first-ever to provide authenticated users
with both access to live, linear network streams as well as an extensive
offering of advantaged window “on demand” episodes.

“We are excited to team with Comcast to be the first in the industry to offer
authenticated products that provide both live linear streams of our
Disney-branded kids television services and a robust selection of episodes on
demand to viewers who verify their subscriptions,” said David Preschlack,
executive vice president, Disney and ESPN Media Networks affiliate sales and
marketing. “Our company prides itself on being at the forefront of innovation,
and we are dedicated to continually enhancing the overall viewing experience
for our consumers, as well as adding value to our industry’s ecosystem.”

Matthew Strauss, Senior Vice President, Digital and Emerging Platforms,
Comcast Cable said, “Working hand-in-hand with The Walt Disney Company, we’re
excited to be the first to deliver this best-in-class kids and family
programming to customers – both in and out of the home across all of our video
platforms. This launch is the latest in a series of TV Everywhere initiatives
we’re delivering that offer customers more choices and new ways to watch the
best entertainment anytime, anywhere.”

Xfinity TV customers, who subscribe to Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney
Junior networks as part of their monthly video service can now stream these
channels live online and via the convenience of their iOS devices. In
addition, Xfinity TV customers can view a variety of top series including
“Good Luck Charlie,” “Shake It Up,” “Phineas and Ferb,” “TRON: Uprising,”
“Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” from Disney
Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior on these new WATCH products, on Xfinity
On Demand, Xfinity.com/tv and through the Xfinity TV app on the iPad, iPhone
and iPod touch and Xfinity TV Player app on Android-powered devices, anytime.

The free Watch apps include a simple, kid-friendly user interface that brings
the current online viewing experience to the high-resolution, Multi-Touch
displays of iOS devices. Once a user downloads one of the WATCH apps or visits
one of the WATCH websites, they will receive sign-in instructions to verify
their Comcast Xfinity TV credentials, allowing them access to their favorite
Disney Channel, Disney XD or Disney Junior programs on their device(s).

Non-authenticated users of the WATCH Disney Channel, WATCH Disney XD and WATCH
Disney Junior services will have access to a limited number of “on demand”
episodes each month.

Disney/ABC Television Group’s WATCH apps are available for free from the App
Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

Later this year, Xfinity TV will also integrate all of the content available
through WATCH apps on Xfinity.com/tv as well as on other viewing platforms.
Today, Xfinity TV offers more than 75,000 TV shows and movies, including a
variety of kids and family programming, across Xfinity On Demand,
Xfinity.com/tv and the Xfinity TV and Xfinity TV Player apps for iOS and
Android, respectively.

The launch of Watch Disney Channel, Watch DisneyXD and Watch Disney Junior, as
well as the recent launch of WatchESPN with Comcast is part of a long-term,
comprehensive distribution agreement between Comcast Corporation and The Walt
Disney Company that was announced in January, 2012. The agreement will deliver
Disney’s top quality sports, news and entertainment content to Comcast’s
Xfinity TV customers into the next decade on televisions, computers, tablets
and handheld devices. The new agreement enhances the multichannel business
model and supports the companies’ mutual goal to deliver the best video
content to customers across multiple platforms using the latest technology and
cloud innovation. For the first time ever, Comcast’s Xfinity TV customers will
be able to watch ESPN, ABC or Disney shows live or On Demand and across
multiple screens. The companies also agreed to collaborate over the term of
the deal to create new, innovative viewing experiences for Xfinity TV
customers.
