Ryan Seacrest has signed a new three-year deal with Comcast Entertainment Group.

The deal means that Seacrest will continue as the lead anchor of E! News and executive producer and primary host of Live From The Red Carpet.

Ryan Seacrest Productions is now developing shows for all Comcast's networks, including Style, G4, Versus, Exercise TV, FearNet and the Golf Channel.

Seacrest's last deal, which earned him $21 million, only involved E! and Style.

On top of the presenter's Comcast duties, he will also continue to host Fox's American Idol and his American Top 40 and KIIS-FM breakfast radio shows.
