COMCAST AGREES TO PICK UP CUBAN'S HDNET -- AND DAN RATHER

Marc Cuban's high-definition HDNet and HDNet Movies have been picked up by Comcast, the nation's largest cable provider. In a statement, the two networks said that they had been added to "many" of Comcast's systems but did not specify the number, nor were other terms of the deal disclosed. HDNet carries Dan Rather Reports, hosted by the former CBS anchor, whose reports on the Democratic and Republican conventions have been virtually lost among the cable coverage given the much wider distribution of CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.
