Comcast Offering On Demand Parade Coverage and Much More, Including Pre-Parade

BOSTON, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Celtics fans who couldn't make it to
Boston for today's "Rolling Rally" honoring the 2008 World Champion Boston
Celtics or who were there but want to keep the celebration going will be able
to watch wall-to-wall coverage of the victory parade and much more on Comcast
On Demand any time they want through the month of June, Comcast announced
today.
    Starting tonight, in addition to Comcast SportsNet coverage of the
Celtics' victory parade, fans will be able to watch complete pre-game and
post-game coverage from the playoffs, including the team's climactic press
conference after the championship-clinching Game Six of the NBA Finals.
During the regular season, Celtics fans were able to watch full-game replays,
press conferences in their entirety and other exclusive Celtics-produced
programming available through Celtics On Demand.  Celtics-produced programming
including a documentary about the build-up to this historic season also
remains available for On Demand viewing until July 1.
    "We are excited to be able to bring the excitement of this incredible
Celtics team and today's awesome parade right into our customers' homes
through our unique On Demand technology," said Paul D'Arcangelo, Vice
President of Comcast's Metro Boston Region.  "Our customers tell us they love
the convenience and value they get from On Demand, and as a lifelong Celtics
fan, I'm personally thrilled that we are able to deliver more of this great
Celtics programming."
    As with the vast majority of the 10,000 On Demand programs Comcast makes
available every month, this special On Demand coverage is available to all
digital cable customers for no additional charge, with the ability to pause,
fast-forward and rewind.  Comcast Digital Cable customers can find the parade
coverage On Demand starting tonight by selecting "Sports and Fitness," then
"NBA TV" and then "Comcast SportsNet."  The rest of the On Demand coverage can
be found in the "Celtics" section of "NBA TV."
