Comcast Edges Q3 Estimates Amid Streaming & Post-Olympics Challenges
Comcast mixed good news with bad?in the third quarter. The media giant narrowly beat Wall Street estimates for earnings and revenue despite currency volatility in the UK and Europe, tough comparisons with the year-ago Tokyo Olympics quarter and ongoing cord-cutting.?

Production has now “returned to normal” after the Covid saga, the company said. On the downside, total revenue slid 4% to $9.6 billion due to comparisons with the year-ago Olympics gains.

Not sure how your crack team of industry journalists missed the story all over the morning news programs on every network about Kanye signing with Payless Shoes and subsequently being dropped five minutes later. Or did I dream about it like Bob Newhart and Peggy Bundy?
