Dear Jennifer #######

Thank you for contacting Comcast Communications. I understand you would
like further information regarding the addition of the Free Speech TV
to your Comcast channel lineup.

Our goal is to provide a wide choice of quality cable networks and
local broadcast channels reflecting the diverse programming interests of
our customers. In addition to requests from customers, the following
factors play a part in our decision making process:

· FCC regulations, such as requirements to carry all local broadcast
channels
· Requirement by local broadcasters to carry their affiliated cable
networks
· The number of access channels required by local government
· Customer satisfaction with networks carried in other systems
· Customer satisfaction with similar networks
· Importance of the network to our diverse community
· Level of interest across a percentage of our customer base
· Per-subscriber programming fees charged by the network versus the
value added to the line-up

As you may know, we have been investing millions of dollars in new
technology to increase the channel capacity of the system through digital
technology. So an additional factor in launching new channels is
whether or not a particular network is available in the digital format.

What this all means is that we take all requests for new networks very
seriously, and that we carefully consider the overall impact of adding
each network. While we cannot honor every request, we do take each
request into consideration in planning future changes to the line-up.
We apologize for not offering this channel as this time.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to respond directly to
this email.

Thank you for being a valued Comcast Customer.

Sincerely,
Joanne
Comcast Customer Care
