News Summary:
On September 11, 2026, Fubo added six free ad-supported streaming channels from NBCUniversal, including NBC Sports Now, Telemundo News, Caso Cerrado, DateLine 24-7, El Señor de los Cielos, and Today All-Day, expanding the service’s no-extra-cost lineup after the companies restored NBC-owned local stations under a recently completed distribution agreement. Previously, on September 10, Peacock achieved its first-ever quarterly profit since its 2020 launch during the second quarter ended June 30, reaching 48 million U.S. paid subscribers, with Matthew Strauss noting that live events, reality shows, and movies are driving user engagement. Earlier on September 10, Media Group Chairman Matt Strauss stated that NBCUniversal's upcoming split from parent company Comcast will offer the media entity "more flexibility to move quicker" and make faster decisions, though the overarching strategy will remain unchanged. Comcast announced its intention in June 2026 to separate from its media entities, including Universal Pictures, NBC, Telemundo networks, Peacock, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky, a process expected to take almost a year. This followed news from September 9 that the FIFA World Cup 2026 and Peacock’s 'Love Island USA' helped boost TV usage in July, defying the usual summer slowdown.
