Comcast announced Friday that it will close Denver-based AZN Network, which targets Asian-Americans, as of April 9.
The closure will affect about 15 employees at AZN, although Comcast spokeswoman Kate Noel said the cable network is working with its other networks to move the jobs elsewhere in the country.
AZN launched in March 2005, and Comcast acquired the International Channel a year earlier as part of a stock swap with Liberty Media. AZN reaches about 13.9 million subscribers, mostly on Comcast's cable systems.
