Comcast, Greater Sacramento's largest cable TV company, is seeing lots of competition arrive from all quarters.

A good piece of it is coming by land from two Denver-based companies, Western Integrated Networks and Wide Open West.

They plan to build "overlay" cable systems to provide cable TV, phone service and fast Internet access to local subscribers by sometime next year.

And now more competition is coming from the sky. Satellite TV providers Dish Network and DirecTV just added four local broadcast network affiliates to their program lineups -- KCRA-Channel 3 (NBC), KXTV-Channel 10 (ABC), KOVR-Channel 13 (CBS) and KTXL-Channel 40 (Fox).
