Comcast executive vice president David Cohen got a chance to showcase some of his company's diverse content at a premiere screening of Comcast's Universal Pictures biopic, Get on Up, about the life of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown.

Cohen spoke to the audience about the company's diverse hiring and casting practices -- which drew applause from the crowd -- and its addition of four new, diverse cable channels including Revolt and Aspire. While expounding on Comcast's diversity efforts, Cohen also said he knew "how much farther we have to go" to achieve its diversity goals, adding that the company's proposed merger with Time Warner Cable would allow it to do more.
