Comcast has spent a lot of money on the broadcast writes to the summer and winter olympics from now seemingly until the end of time. Did they talk at all about their hopes for that, either on the broadcast side, or using peacock to tryand leverage it? I think definitely. They're just hoping to continue that momentum and see that more people will be tuning in. Especially in the winter, it's colder, so people are more likely to be at home.
Viewership on Peacock is not as high as Comcast would like, so they're doubling their investment in 2022. Maria Gallagher analyzes the streaming landscape and the role the Winter Olympics plays in Comcast's plans. She also discusses how McDonald's, one of the largest employers in the U.S., is dealing with rising costs and why Levi Strauss is optimistic about 2022. Plus, Emily Flippen and Asit Sharma take a closer look at Wise, a financial tech company aiming to make global currency transactions cheaper.
