Beginning next week, “eligible Xfinity TV customers will have access to three hours of 3net content for at least five days per week,” explains the article.
The 3net original series “Storm Surfers” will debut on Monday, along with “NASCAR: The IMAX Experience,” and 3net original series “A Year in Africa.” In addition, select programs will soon be available on Xfinity On Demand.
“We look forward to working with Comcast to grow the in-home 3D market by exposing their audience to the very best in 3net content,” said Tom Cosgrove, 3net president and CEO.
