Comcast has confirmed the addition of EWTN to the basic cable lineup for the Middle Tennessee region. We are now verifying the implementation timeline to ensure this service is accessible as promised. Keep monitoring your local channel guides for the official rollout.
TO: Mr. Steve Burke, President Comcast Corporation
Mr. David L. Cohen, Executive Vice President, Comcast Corporation
We, the undersigned, respectfully request Comcast Cable to add EWTN Global Catholic Network to their basic cable channel lineup. Although Comcast offers Christian programming, the channels offered cater to a more Protestant-Christian audience and do not satisfy the needs of the Catholic-Christian Community.
Satellite dish companies offer EWTN programming. However, Comcast is the largest cable company in the United States, serving approximately 21.3 million cable subscribers and does not offer EWTN.
EWTN Global Catholic Network, in its 22nd year, is available in more than 81 million television households in 107 countries. With its worldwide short-wave radio station, television services, satellite-delivered AM & FM radio network and publishing arm, EWTN is the largest religious media organization in the world. EWTN’s programming offers quality Catholic-Christian programs for all members of the family, especially children and teenagers.
Therefore, we ask Comcast to add EWTN to their basic cable channel lineup in an effort to meet the needs of the over 69,000 Catholics in the Middle Tennessee viewing area. (Based upon demographic information provided by the Diocese of Nashville)
A timely response to this request is appreciated. We look forward to seeing EWTN on our cable soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
We need to hit the one hundred signature milestone to increase the credibility of our formal letter to Comcast leadership. Please direct three local contacts to this page today so we can finalize this document for delivery.

Having a Catholic TV channel should be a basic channel for all Comcast customers, especially for those who may be home bound for any reason.

Very disappointed Comcast is no showing Ewtn. There are many seniors that can't go to church and enjoy the masses and listening to the Vatican.

Should EWTN go off of any cable or satellite provider, I will encourage all I know to completely disengage from that cable or satellite provider--and I will also do the same immediately. I know many who subscribe to time warner cable just to get EWTN. EWTN, Eternal Television Network is the primary reason I signed my mother and myself--two different residences onto Time Warner Cable.

WHY IS THIS NOT ON YET. Comcast needs to stop pushing other stuff and give us what we want. EWTN is essential.

How is this not on Comcast anymore? One network of truth that matters, and I cannot find it. I recall finding this channel.as a youth, and was stunned by the honesty and love from Mother Angelica Live. This metwork.consoled my grandfather in early 00s when he was no longer able to walk, and the was bound to.a bed. Unable to walk this channel.was hope and stenthen his faith.. The world might be better if people could hear God s word over sobmany trashy useless ststions currently on there. Consider this, my family used.to have basic.cable, but does not anymore.
