Comcast's second-quarter results on Thursday showcased strength at NBCUniversal — particularly in its TV and film units — as the company prepares to split its media and broadband businesses apart. NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, hit profitability during the quarter for the first time, Comcast said, giving the media business a lift. The streaming service also benefitted from live sports including the FIFA World Cup and NBA postseason and brought in new subscribers. Revenue in the company's content and experiences division, which includes media unit NBCUniversal, rose almost 23% year over year. Meanwhile, it was a different story with the traditional cable and connectivity business. The company said that its shifted strategy for the broadband business is "gaining traction" following years of significant competition and pressure due to the rise of alternatives like 5G providers.
