Comcast’s programming arm, CN8, is launching on Friday an intriguing service that will probably get few viewers but definitely reflects well on the nation’s largest cable company. It’s called Candidates on Demand, and it’s a VOD channel for digital customers in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Washington, D.C that features round-the-clock video coverage of local, state and federal 2006 mid-term elections and the candidates running in the various races.
Comcast has devoted some money and time to the project — Candidates On Demand features 500 interview segments with candidates running for more than 350 gubernatorial, senate, house, mayoral and other local political races. That’s in addition to coverage of debates in local, state and federal races.
