Comcast reported earnings on Thursday, largely beating revenue and earnings expectations while Peacock continued to report losses, though they narrowed sightly from the previous quarter. What may have received less attention is how well the company’s flagship streamer is positioned to ride out Hollywood’s ongoing double strike that has largely ground production to a halt. 

The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are affecting various players in the industry differently, but Parrot’s demand data shows how Peacock may be poised to survive a prolonged work stoppage by leveraging two key NBCUniversal TV assets: Bravo and NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”
