beginning in 2014 for eligible employees of the Company, the Applicable Interest Rate means 9%&nbsp;per annum, compounded annually as of the last day of the calendar year (the &#147;Standard Applicable Interest Rate&#148;), except to the extent the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the &#147;Committee&#148;), in its sole discretion, designated for the period extending from the date of a Participant&#146;s termination of employment to the date of his or her Account&#146;s distribution in
full an Applicable Interest Rate equal to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the Standard Applicable Interest Rate and (ii)&nbsp;the Prime Rate plus one percent, compounded annually as of the last day of the calendar year. The Applicable Interest Rate for
eligible employees of the Company (other than NBCUniversal) for years before 2014 is 12%&nbsp;per annum, compounded annually. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As defined
in the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Company Stock Fund is a hypothetical investment fund pursuant to which income, gains and losses are credited to a Participant&#146;s Account as if the Account, to the extent deemed invested in the
Company&#146;s Stock Fund, were invested in hypothetical shares of Common Stock and all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Common Stock were temporarily credited to the Income Fund. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as otherwise provided in the case of a liquidation of the Registrant or a Change of Control, each Participant is permitted to specify
by election the method of distribution of any amount credited to his or her Account. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, a Participant may elect from among the following methods of distribution: (i)&nbsp;a lump sum payment; and
(ii)&nbsp;substantially equal annual or monthly installments over a period of five, ten or 15 years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notwithstanding the terms of an
election, if, upon the written application of a Participant, the Committee determines that such Participant has a financial emergency of such a substantial nature and beyond the individual&#146;s control that payment of amounts previously deferred
under the Deferred Compensation Plan is warranted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize the immediate distribution to the Participant of all or a portion of his or her Account. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that the Registrant shall give Participants at least 30 days&#146; notice (or, if not practicable,
such shorter notice as may be reasonably practicable) prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of a liquidation of the Registrant or a Change of Control (each a &#147;Terminating Event&#148;). To the extent permitted by the AJCA, the
Registrant may, in its discretion, provide in such notice that notwithstanding any other provision of the Deferred Compensation Plan or the terms of any election, upon the consummation of a Terminating Event, the Account balance of each Participant
shall be distributed in full. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Whether or not the Registrant is a Participant&#146;s employer, all compensation deferred under the
Deferred Compensation Plan will continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Registrant and the Participant&#146;s Account will at all times represent the general obligation of the Registrant. Each Participant will be a general
creditor of the Registrant with respect to all of the Registrant&#146;s Deferred Compensation Obligations to the Participant under the Deferred Compensation Plan, and will not have a secured or preferred position with respect to his or her Account.
Nothing contained in the Deferred Compensation Plan shall be deemed to create an escrow, trust, custodial account or fiduciary relationship of any kind or to eliminate any priority or preferred position of a Participant in a bankruptcy matter with
respect to claims for wages. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the right of a Participant in or to an Account, benefit or payment under the Deferred Compensation Plan shall not be subject in any manner to attachment or other legal
process for the debts of such Participant; and no such Account, benefit or payment shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, attachment, execution, garnishment, assignment or encumbrance. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant, by action of the Board or the Committee, without the consent of the Participants, may amend or modify the Deferred
Compensation Plan at any time, except that no such action shall change the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the portion of a Participant&#146;s Account that is attributable to an election made with respect to compensation earned in a
calendar year and filed with the Committee before the date of such action. The Registrant, by action of the Board, reserves the right at any time, or from time to time, to terminate the Deferred Compensation Plan. </P>

The deferred compensation obligations to which this Registration Statement relates (the "Deferred Compensation Obligations") arise under the Comcast Corporation 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, this registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") is being filed

PART II
INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, as filed with the Commission by the
Registrant are incorporated by reference in this Form S-8 Registration Statement and made a part hereof:
a.
The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 23, 2016;
b.
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Commission on February 5, 2016 (excluding the financial statements of NBCUniversal Media, LLC, and the
associated report of NBCUniversal Media, LLC's independent registered public accounting firm included in such Annual Report); and
c.
The description of the Registrant's common stock included under the caption "Amended and Restated Description of our Class A Common Stock" in Item 3.03 of Registrant's Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December 15, 2015.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered pursuant to this Registration Statement have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, but excluding any financial statements of NBCUniversal Media, LLC, and any associated report of NBCUniversal Media, LLC's independent registered public accounting firm included in any such documents, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The information disclosed in this Item 4 provides a summary of the deferral provisions of the Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended
through the date of this Registration Statement.
The following description of the Deferred Compensation Obligations of the Registrant
under the Deferred Compensation Plan is qualified by reference to the Deferred Compensation Plan, which is included as an exhibit to this Registration Statement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Registration Statement shall
have the respective meanings attributed to such terms in the Deferred Compensation Plan.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations incurred
by the Registrant under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be unsecured general obligations of the Registrant to pay the compensation deferred in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan and will rank equally with other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant. Because the Registrant has subsidiaries, the right of the Registrant, and hence the right of creditors of the Registrant (including Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan), to participate in
a distribution of the assets of a subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise, necessarily is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of the Registrant itself as a creditor may
be recognized.
Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Registrant will provide Eligible Employees of the Registrant and each of the
Registrant's subsidiaries which is a Participating Company, and Outside Directors, with the opportunity to elect to defer all or a portion of the compensation to be received from the Registrant or another Participating Company, provided that
sales commissions or similar payments or awards or Severance Pay shall not be included as compensation for purposes of the Deferred Compensation Plan.
Except for amounts credited to the Accounts of Participants who are Outside Directors who have
elected to defer receipt of Compensation payable in the form of the Common Stock, all amounts credited to Participant's Accounts will be credited with income, gains and losses as if it were invested in the Income Fund. Amounts credited to the
Accounts of Outside Directors in the form of Common Stock will be credited with income, gains and losses as if it were invested in the Company Stock Fund. Distributions of amounts credited to the Company Stock Fund with respect to Outside
Directors' Accounts will be distributable in the form of Common Stock, rounded to the nearest whole share.
As defined in the
Deferred Compensation Plan, the Income Fund is a hypothetical investment fund pursuant to which income, gains and losses are credited to a Participant's Account as if such Account, to the extent deemed invested in the Income Fund, were credited
with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate. As defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan, effective beginning in 2013 for eligible employees of the Company's subsidiary NBCUniversal LLC, and generally effective for deferred amounts credited
beginning in 2014 for eligible employees of the Company, the Applicable Interest Rate means 9% per annum, compounded annually as of the last day of the calendar year (the "Standard Applicable Interest Rate"), except to the extent the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee"), in its sole discretion, designated for the period extending from the date of a Participant's termination of employment to the date of his or her Account's distribution in
full an Applicable Interest Rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Standard Applicable Interest Rate and (ii) the Prime Rate plus one percent, compounded annually as of the last day of the calendar year. The Applicable Interest Rate for
eligible employees of the Company (other than NBCUniversal) for years before 2014 is 12% per annum, compounded annually.
As defined
in the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Company Stock Fund is a hypothetical investment fund pursuant to which income, gains and losses are credited to a Participant's Account as if the Account, to the extent deemed invested in the
Company's Stock Fund, were invested in hypothetical shares of Common Stock and all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Common Stock were temporarily credited to the Income Fund.
Except as otherwise provided in the case of a liquidation of the Registrant or a Change of Control, each Participant is permitted to specify
by election the method of distribution of any amount credited to his or her Account. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, a Participant may elect from among the following methods of distribution: (i) a lump sum payment; and
(ii) substantially equal annual or monthly installments over a period of five, ten or 15 years.
Notwithstanding the terms of an
election, if, upon the written application of a Participant, the Committee determines that such Participant has a financial emergency of such a substantial nature and beyond the individual's control that payment of amounts previously deferred
under the Deferred Compensation Plan is warranted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize the immediate distribution to the Participant of all or a portion of his or her Account.
The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that the Registrant shall give Participants at least 30 days' notice (or, if not practicable,
such shorter notice as may be reasonably practicable) prior to the anticipated date of the consummation of a liquidation of the Registrant or a Change of Control (each a "Terminating Event"). To the extent permitted by the AJCA, the
Registrant may, in its discretion, provide in such notice that notwithstanding any other provision of the Deferred Compensation Plan or the terms of any election, upon the consummation of a Terminating Event, the Account balance of each Participant
shall be distributed in full.
Whether or not the Registrant is a Participant's employer, all compensation deferred under the
Deferred Compensation Plan will continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Registrant and the Participant's Account will at all times represent the general obligation of the Registrant. Each Participant will be a general
creditor of the Registrant with respect to all of the Registrant's Deferred Compensation Obligations to the Participant under the Deferred Compensation Plan, and will not have a secured or preferred position with respect to his or her Account.
Nothing contained in the Deferred Compensation Plan shall be deemed to create an escrow, trust, custodial account or fiduciary relationship of any kind or to eliminate any priority or preferred position of a Participant in a bankruptcy matter with
respect to claims for wages. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the right of a Participant in or to an Account, benefit or payment under the Deferred Compensation Plan shall not be subject in any manner to attachment or other legal
process for the debts of such Participant; and no such Account, benefit or payment shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, attachment, execution, garnishment, assignment or encumbrance.
The Registrant, by action of the Board or the Committee, without the consent of the Participants, may amend or modify the Deferred
Compensation Plan at any time, except that no such action shall change the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the portion of a Participant's Account that is attributable to an election made with respect to compensation earned in a
calendar year and filed with the Committee before the date of such action. The Registrant, by action of the Board, reserves the right at any time, or from time to time, to terminate the Deferred Compensation Plan.
