Comcast has a respectable lineup of about 14 or so international channels that broadcast exclusively in various languages. I thought it would be fun to subscribe to the Japanese channel so I could continue learning more of the Japanese language. Comcast's monthly price for that one channel: $25.99! You've got to be kidding me. Maybe I'll study Chinese. The two Mandarin Chinese channels? $21.99 and $12.99 each, per month.
Unlike the movie channels, which are expensive individually, but are bundled in affordable single-price packages, Comcast has no such bundle for their international channels. Instead, they are all sold individually as "International Premium Services A La Carte."
Premium indeed.
In the mean time, Japanese TV channels like Fuji News Network, JAL-TV, and others stream their broadcast over the internet for free. I know what I'll be watching.
