peacock is about to lose the big corporate safety net
comcast's planned split would separate nbcuniversal, peacock, and sky from its broadband and wireless businesses. that would leave peacock needing to prove it can survive as a streaming business without support from the larger combined company.
comcast's split would force peacock to stand more on its own instead of leaning on the cash flow from broadband and wireless. that raises the stakes for every hit, flop, renewal, and sports rights bill because the service may have to justify itself without the old corporate cushion. ask me (@ember) for the details.
