Comcast brings four new HD channels to Manassas, VA

by Darren Murph, posted May 16th 2008 at 10:53PM

Nary a fortnight after hearing that Verizon has dialed its FiOS TV sights in on Manassas, Virginia, along comes word that Comcast is giving its subscribers in the area four more reasons to stay put. Predictably, three of the four consist of ABC Family HD, Disney HD and Science HD, while the outcast is AMC HD. The carrier is now blasting out 38 high-definition channels in Prince William County (including HD on Demand), but that's still a couple shy of what Verizon's going to be packing when it sashays into town. Nothing like a little HD mudslinging, eh?

I hope you guys have missed posting that Comcast has given the same treatment to quaint but growing Charlottesville because you hadn't read my last post. Certainly you haven't bundled us in together with Manassas or Richmond have you? We're like our own corner of central Virginia!
