Comcast’s commitment to a healthier community is evident in its programs and partnerships. As a sponsor of The Gazette Healthy Challenge, Comcast used public service announcements to encourage out-of-shape Montgomery County residents to enter the sweepstakes. Now, as Comcast subscribers follow the progress of Healthy Challenge winners Yvonne Savage and Thom Hunter, they too can get in shape with Exercisetv.

As the country's leading provider of cable, entertainment and communications products and services, Comcast and Jake Steinfeld, of Body by Jake, recently launched Exercisetv - the first comprehensive on-demand network dedicated to fitness, sports instruction and motivational programming.
