Comcast and The Walt Disney Co. reached an agreement yesterday that included an extension of the cable provider's carriage of ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD as well as HD video on demand (VOD). Beginning with the Fall 2007 season, on-demand episodes of Desperate Housewives and Lost will be available in HD for Comcast customers with HD service in the markets where Disney owns the local ABC affiliate, including New York (WABC), Philadelphia (WPVI), Chicago (WLS), San Francisco (KGO), Houston (KTRK), Fresno, CA (KFSN), and Flint, MI (WJRT).
It remains to be seen whether the deal will be expanded to include markets in which Disney does not own the local ABC station. Also up in the air is whether anyone will actually be watching Lost by then, as this season -- which just inexplicably concluded for the next couple of months -- has been far less interesting and watchable than the previous two.
