Comcast Plans Fancastic Site, Buys Fandango

Cable provider Comcast announced Wednesday that it will be buying online movie ticket site Fandango, reports CNET.
Comcast will use Fandango as the launching pad for Fancast.com, a new entertainment venture. The new site will have a variety of entertainment information, including listings of where and on what media a certain show or movie can be viewed.

The acquisition of Fandango is the latest in a recent series of entertainment-site moves by Comcast. It launched video sharing portal Ziddio and horror-movie-focused Fearnet, both within the last year.

Comcast says Fandango will be an important part of Fancast, and CEO Chuck Davis will continue in his role.
