“Watching TV” means a lot more today than it used to. Always-on, linear programming is a valuable, lucrative addition to content offerings. Comcast Technology Solutions has the experience and technology to provide a suite of services that bring channel creation, acquisition, delivery, and management into the future of multi-platform video. Simplified, automated processes and cloud-based media processing streamline content prep and delivery from anywhere in the world. Advanced techniques enable providers and distributors to combine static video on demand (VOD) assets and live feeds into exciting new pop-up channels.
Programmers and providers who are looking for new ways to showcase content, or connect viewers to programs for the first time, now have tremendous flexibility in how they can differentiate their content offerings. A linear experience provides unique advantages to viewer retention and monetization efforts:
• Maintaining “share of eyeball” – broadcasters align new shows with existing high-performing ones for a reason: people will stick with a channel if they like what they’re watching. Expanding your presence with linear channels is also a great way to add depth and choice for viewers.
• Always-on advertising: With VOD experiences, ads aren’t presented until someone chooses a specific program. Linear provides a reliable stream of ad revenue opportunities for a channel that’s found “a niche to scratch” – an audience to grow.
• Deeper connection with individuals: People still have favorite channels. In the U.S. today, 87% of TV viewing is still live, and across 17 million Comcast households, average TV time has risen 6% over 2018 to reach almost six and a half hours daily. The takeaway? People keep watching.
It’s here in this space that content providers have better ways to be the winning choice on either side of the coin, whether they’re acquiring and delivering media feeds, or creating a custom channel by utilizing their own VOD assets in creative new ways.

More about Comcast Corporation, its brands and solutions:
Comcast Corporation (formerly registered as Comcast Holdings) is an American telecommunications conglomerate headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It is the second-largest broadcasting and cable television company in the world by revenue and the largest pay-TV company, the largest cable TV company and largest home Internet service provider in the United States, and the nation’s third-largest home telephone service provider. Comcast services U.S. residential and commercial customers in 40 states and in the District of Columbia. As the parent company of the international media company NBCUniversal, one of Jump´s clients, Comcast is a producer of feature films and television programs intended for theatrical exhibition and over-the-air and cable television broadcast, respectively.
Comcast owns and operates the Xfinity residential cable communications subsidiary, Comcast Business, a commercial services provider, Xfinity Mobile, an MVNO of Verizon, over-the-air national broadcast network channels (NBC, Telemundo, TeleXitos and Cozi TV), multiple cable-only channels (including MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Syfy, NBCSN, and E!, among others), the film studio Universal Pictures, and Universal Parks & Resorts. It also has significant holdings in digital distribution, such as thePlatform, which it acquired in 2006. Since October 2018, it is also the parent company of mass media pan-European company Sky Group, making it the biggest and leading media company with more than 53 million subscribers over five countries across Europe.
Comcast is sometimes described as a family business. Brian L. Roberts, chairman, president, and CEO of Comcast, is the son of founder Ralph J. Roberts. Roberts owns or controls about 1% of all Comcast shares but all of the Class B supervoting shares, which gives him an “undilutable 33% voting power over the company”. Legal expert Susan P. Crawford has said this gives him “effective control over [Comcast’s] every step”.

Since 2011, Comcast’s Internet Essentials program has connected more than 2 million U.S. households, serving approximately 8 million people, to the Internet at home so they can be ready for anything. With schools closed across the country, we’ve increased speeds and opened up access so students can continue to learn.
Internet Essentials is about far more than just bringing Internet service into a home. It’s also about designing a program that addresses the three main barriers to broadband adoption: 1) digital literacy, or the lack of a perceived need for, or even fear of, the Internet, 2) the lack of a computer, and, 3) the monthly cost of service. Internet Essentials is the only program of its kind that addresses each of these barriers head on.
