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 lost nearly half a million cord-cutters combined. Finally, we detail Parler's $7.5 million acquisition of select Edgio assets.
