Comcast Mulls Aiding Peacock by Pulling Movies From Netflix and HBO Max
Comcast's (NASDAQ: CMCSA) Peacock streaming service is pretty much an also-ran in the streaming video wars, but it could get a big boost if the cable giant follows through on early plans to yank Universal Studios content from rivals like Netflix and AT&T's HBO Max.
Yet Bloomberg reports Comcast hasn't made a final decision yet because doing so means it has to give up hundreds of millions of dollars in fees it receives from its competitors for airing that content. Still, sharing some of the biggest franchises with rivals when its own service could benefit from having them exclusively is weighing on the deliberations.
