Comcast Launches ‘Free This Week’, Increasing Access To Streaming And Premium Network Fare For Xfinity X1 And Flex Subscribers

In a nod to the New Year’s mood, the first two weeks of Free This Week will feature free access to wellness apps like The Great Courses, Gaia, One Day University, Gaiam TV, Sweat Factor and FitFusion by Jillian Michaels. Future participants will include HBO Max, Showtime, Revolt, History Vault, Lifetime Movie Club and others to be named, Comcast said.
