For the First Time Ever, More Than 33 million On Demand Cable Customers Will be Able to Support This Humanitarian Initiative Just by Watching the Historic We Are The World 25 For Haiti Video, Organized by Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie
Some of the nation's top cable operators have collaborated to give cable customers a way to support relief efforts in Haiti via a Video On Demand (VOD)* showcase of the much-anticipated We Are The World 25 For Haiti -- a brand-new, contemporary version of the iconic 1985 philanthropic anthem "We Are the World."
Starting this weekend, and available until March 14, cable customers in Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and Bright House Networks systems around the country can watch the star-studded, long-form video via the VOD platform. 100 percent of the video's $2.99 price will be donated to the We Are the World Foundation, a not-for-profit organization.

The foundation, formed by legendary producer Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie, who both serve as executive producers and producers of the re-recording of the iconic We Are The World, among others, is committed to providing long-term assistance to the Haitian people through an organization that will be operated with full transparency and using state-of-the-art technology and star power.
The long-form video version of the song, featuring over 80 of the world's top recording stars, (complete roster and full production credits** listed below) and directed by Academy-Award® winner Paul Haggis, will be available starting this weekend in 33 million cable homes, following a preview of a shorter version during the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games on Fri, Feb. 12, broadcast by NBC. Performers of all generations and backgrounds got together in Los Angeles on February 1st -- nearly 25 years to the day from the first recording -- to re-record the song that is still the best-selling single of all-time.
Commented Quincy Jones, "For Comcast to bring together the cable industry leaders in the same spirit of collaboration that the artists shared in the studio was very fitting, and I am enormously grateful to Brian Roberts and Comcast, as well as Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and Bright House Networks for their inspired support of our efforts to bring much needed relief to the people of Haiti."
