from The Dan Rayburn Podcast · host Dan Rayburn

This week, we detail the launch of competing $70 sports-streaming packages from Comcast’s Xfinity and DirecTV, and FOX's plans to launch a DTC streaming service. We also cover the latest earnings from Comcast, Disney and Alphabet, with Disney+ losing 700,000 subscribers, Peacock's DTC business losing $436M, and YouTube seeing advertising revenue of $10.4 billion, with growth driven by the 2024 U.S. election. We also discussed the latest cord-cutting numbers from Charter, Comcast, and Verizon, which have collectively lost nearly half a million cord-cutters. Finally, we detail Parler's $7.5 million acquisition of select Edgio assets.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media
