Comcast and Yahoo! Announce Display Advertising Partnership

    PHILADELPHIA and SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
 Comcast Corporation ( CMCSK, CMCSA), the nation's leading provider
 of cable, entertainment and communications products and services, today
 announced that Comcast Interactive Media and Yahoo! Inc. ( YHOO), a
 leading global Internet company and one of the most trafficked Internet
 destinations worldwide, have entered into a multi-year strategic
 partnership for online display and video advertising services on
 Comcast.net. Comcast.net is a top 10 online site with more than 2.5 billion
 page views, more than 80 million videos viewed and 15 million unique
 visitors per month.
     "We are delighted with our new long-term strategic partnership with
 Yahoo!. Their scale, experienced sales force, advertiser relationships and
 industry leading display advertising capabilities will bring significant
 new monetization opportunities to Comcast.net," said Amy L. Banse,
 president, Comcast Interactive Media. "As Comcast continues to grow its
 online presence we will monetize our other online sites while driving
 innovative cross- platform services and creating new business models."
     Yahoo!'s advertising sales organization will be the primary marketing
 and sales channel for Comcast.net display and video advertising.
 Comcast.net will tap into Yahoo!'s extensive network of leading brand
 advertisers and benefit from Yahoo!'s sophisticated ad-serving, targeting
 and inventory management capabilities to enable the pricing, targeting,
 delivery and reporting of display and video advertisements. Comcast
 Spotlight will continue to bundle Comcast.net in cross-platform and
 locally-targeted advertising packages to its growing base of local,
 regional and national advertisers through its existing sales force of over
 3,000 sales executives.
     "This announcement is consistent with our goal to create the leading
 advertising marketplace and give our advertisers the ability to connect
 with their target customers wherever they are on the Internet," said Hilary
 Schneider, executive vice president of the Local Markets and Commerce
 Division and the Yahoo! Publisher Network Division at Yahoo!. " With
 Comcast's high quality broadband audiences, trusted brands can effectively
 extend their reach and impact as we continue to deliver our advertisers'
 most relevant marketing messages to the most highly qualified audiences at
 the right place and time."
     Yahoo! and Comcast Interactive Media will collaborate to create and
 market new sponsorships and custom advertising packages that are supported
 by Yahoo!'s platform. Yahoo!'s advertising services will be integrated
 within the redesigned Comcast.net planned later this year. The redesigned
 Comcast.net will include enhanced features, user experience and new
 advertising opportunities across the site. Search services and Comcast
 Interactive Media's other properties are not part of the partnership.
