Comcast adds Spanish-language HD channels in California

New HD channels available in the San Francisco Bay Area and Central California

In preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Comcast has added three Spanish-language networks in high-definition. Univision HD, TeleFutura HD and Telemundo HD will all be part of the Limited Basic HD lineup for Comcast customers in the San Francisco area.

For residents in Central California, Univision HD and TeleFutura HD will become part of the Limited Basic HD service. (See full channel lineups below.)

Comcast customers in the Half Moon Bay, Isleton, Mendocino and Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley areas will not get the new Spanish language HD channels.
