Template:Short description Template:Copy edit Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox company NBCUniversal Media, LLC (abbreviated as NBCU and doing business as NBCUniversal or Comcast NBCUniversal since 2013) is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate that is a subsidiary of Comcast and headquartered at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Midtown Manhattan in New York City.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> It is mostly involved in the media and entertainment industry, named for its two most significant divisions: the National Broadcasting Company (NBC)—one of the United States' Big Three television networks—and Universal Pictures, one of the major Hollywood film studios.

It also has a significant presence in broadcasting through a portfolio of domestic and international properties, including USA, Syfy, Bravo, Oxygen, E!, Telemundo, Golf Channel, CNBC, Universo, the streaming service Peacock and ownership stakes in Snap Inc. and Vox Media. Via its Universal Destinations & Experiences division, NBCUniversal is also the third-largest operator of amusement parks in the world.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

NBCUniversal was created on May 11, 2004, as NBC Universal, Inc. on November 8, 2004, when Vivendi sold 80% of Universal Pictures to the now-defunct General Electric, NBC's then-owner.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="timeline">Template:Cite news</ref> The sale gave Vivendi a 20% stake in NBC Universal, while GE held the remaining 80%. Comcast attained 51% and thereby control of the newly reformed NBCUniversal in 2011, by acquiring shares from GE, with GE buying out Vivendi's stake. Since 2013, the company has been wholly owned by Comcast, which bought the remaining 49% of the company from GE.<ref name="GE_buyout3">Template:Cite web</ref>

History

Template:Evolution of Comcast NBCUniversal

Early history

NBC and Universal Television had a partnership dating back to 1950, when Universal Television's earliest ancestor, Revue Studios, produced a number of shows for NBC, although Revue would have hits on other networks as well. This partnership continued throughout a number of name changes and changes of ownership.

Television

Template:Main NBC Universal Television has its modern roots in a series of expansions undertaken by NBC, whose full legal name was National Broadcasting Company, Inc. In the late 1980s, NBC began pursuing a strategy of diversification, including the formation of two NBC-owned cable-television networks: CNBC and America's Talking. NBC also had partial ownership of several regional sports channels and other cable channels such as American Movie Classics and Court TV (until 2007).

In 1995, NBC began operating NBC Desktop Video, a financial news service that delivered live video to personal computers. The following year, NBC announced an agreement with Microsoft to create an all-news cable television channel, MSNBC (using its subscriber base from America's Talking network). A separate joint venture with Microsoft included establishing a news website, MSNBC.com (now NBCNews.com).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 1998, NBC partnered with Dow Jones & Co.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The two companies combined their financial news channels outside the United States. The new networks included NBC Europe, CNBC Europe, NBC Asia, CNBC Asia, NBC Africa, and CNBC Africa.

In 1999, NBC took a 32% stake in the Paxson group, operator of PAX TV. Five years later, NBC decided to sell its interest in PAX TV and end its relationship with PAX owner, Paxson Communications.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2001, NBC acquired the US Spanish-language broadcaster Telemundo, which includes the bilingual Mun2 Television for $1.98 billion.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> That same year NBC acquired the cable channel Bravo.

Combining with Universal

In 2004, amid a major financial crisis caused by over-expansion, Universal Studios' parent company, Vivendi Universal Entertainment (a division of the French company Vivendi, which also owned Blizzard Entertainment), decided to sell an 80% stake in itself to NBC's parent company, General Electric (GE). The sale and resulting merger formed NBC Universal. The new company was 80% owned by GE, and 20% owned by Vivendi.<ref name="Overview">Template:Cite web</ref> The Universal Music Group was not included in the deal and is not part of NBC Universal.<ref name="nbcuni.com">Template:Cite web</ref>

On August 2, 2004, the television divisions of NBC and Universal Television were combined to form NBC Universal Television. Entertainment shows produced by the new group included The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and Saturday Night Live.

The formation of NBC Universal saw the establishment of NBC Universal Cable, which oversaw the distribution, marketing, and advertisement sales for thirteen channels. It also owned a 50% stake in Canal+ and a 15% stake in A+E Networks until 2012.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Global expansion

In the early 1990s, NBC began its expansion throughout Europe by creating CNBC Europe and its long-time successful NBC Europe Superstation by broadcasting NBC Giga throughout Germany and the rest of the European Union. NBC Europe helped to develop the Leipzig-based Games Convention, the largest European video game exposition with more than 100,000 visitors each year.

In 2005, NBC Universal joined HANA, the High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance to help establish standards in consumer electronics interoperability. Later that year, NBC Universal announced a partnership with Apple Computer to offer shows from all the NBC Universal TV networks on Apple's iTunes Store.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In January 2006, NBC Universal launched a new cable channel, Sleuth, later rebranded as Cloo.<ref>Exclusive: Sleuth Gets A New Name: Meet Cloo Template:Webarchive, TV Guide, April 7, 2011</ref><ref name=original>Exclusive: Newly Rebranded Cloo TV Picks Up First Original Series Template:Webarchive TV Guide July 15, 2011</ref> One year after Sleuth's debut, NBC Universal announced that the company would launch a horror-themed cable channel, Chiller, on March 1, 2007.

On June 14, 2007, NBC Universal Television Studio was renamed Universal Media Studios. The company explained that the reason for the name change was because "the new name fully describes the company's mission to be the premier content provider for television and digital platforms, spanning all television parts and creative genres."<ref>Template:Cite press release</ref>

In August 2007, NBC Universal purchased Sparrowhawk Media Group and renamed it NBC Universal Global Networks.<ref>Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref> This acquisition gave NBC Universal all Hallmark channels outside the United States, plus the English channels Diva TV, Movies 24, Hallmark Channel and KidsCo.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Later that fall, the company also acquired the Oxygen network in a separate $925 million deal.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The sale was completed one month later.

In the summer of 2008, NBC Universal, Blackstone Group and Bain Capital announced their intention to buy The Weather Channel from Landmark Communications. The deal closed on September 12, 2008.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Shortly after the acquisition was completed, NBC announced that its existing TV weather network, NBC Weather Plus, would be shut down by December 31, 2008.

In July 2008, Universal Cable Productions split off from Universal Media Studios and moved into NBCUniversal's NBCU Cable Entertainment division.<ref name=tvw>Template:Cite news</ref>

The summer of 2008 marked NBC Universal's first venture into the United Kingdom with the acquisition of English television production company Carnival Films.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On November 12, 2008, NBC Universal acquired 80.1% of Geneon Entertainment from Dentsu in Japan, merging it with Universal Pictures International Entertainment to form a new company,<ref name="merge">Template:Cite web</ref> Geneon Universal Entertainment Japan.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On March 16, 2009, NBC Universal-owned cable channel Sci Fi announced that it would be changing its name to Syfy, replacing a generic term with a proprietary brand name that was able to be trademarked.<ref name="scifinewname">Template:Cite news</ref> The re-branding and name change took place on July 7, 2009.<ref name="scifinewname" /><ref>Syfy: Not Your Father's Sci-Fi Template:Webarchive, Fortune, July 7, 2009</ref>

On August 27, 2009, A&E Television Networks (A&E) merged with Lifetime Entertainment Services (Lifetime),<ref>A&E Acquires Lifetime, Variety.com, August 27, 2009</ref><ref>A&E Networks, Lifetime Merger Completed Template:Webarchive, Broadcasting & Cable, August 27, 2009</ref> giving NBC Universal an equal share of both Lifetime and A&E with The Walt Disney Company and Hearst.

On October 20, 2010, NBC Universal-owned horror/suspense-themed cable channel Chiller announced a major rebranding campaign incorporating a new logo and on-air look that launched on Wednesday, October 27, 2010.<ref name=chill>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=redesign>Chiller Announces Major Redesign Template:Webarchive, TV By the Numbers, October 20, 2010</ref> Syfy and Chiller President Dave Howe said, "We have very ambitious plans to grow this network as a brand."<ref name=chill/><ref name=redesign/>

On December 3, 2009, after months of rumors, a deal was formally announced in which Comcast would buy a stake in NBC Universal from GE for $6.5 billion after the spin-off of certain businesses, pending regulatory approval.<ref name="comcastnbc">Template:Cite news</ref> Under the agreement, NBC Universal would be controlled with a 51% stake by Comcast and GE would retain the remaining 49%. The deal includes a provision under which Comcast must contribute $7.5 billion in programming, including regional sports networks and cable channels such as Golf Channel, Versus, and E! Entertainment Television. GE used some of the funds, $5.8 billion, to buy out Vivendi's 20% minority stake in NBC Universal.<ref name="comcastnbc" /> Under the terms of the deal, Comcast reserved the right to buy out GE's share at certain times, and GE reserved the right to force the sale of its stake within the first seven years.<ref name="comcastnbc" /><ref>Template:Cite news Template:Dead link</ref> Vivendi completed the initial transaction on September 27, 2010, selling a $2 billion stake to GE (approximately 7.66%).<ref name="vivendiinitsale">Template:Cite news</ref>

U.S. regulators approved the proposed sale on January 18, 2011, with conditions. Comcast would have to give up NBC control over online video site Hulu and ensure NBC Universal programming is available to competing cable operators.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The company unveiled a new logo designed by Wolff Olins, which replaced a logo featuring the NBC peacock and an invocation of the Universal Pictures globe, with a wordmark. The company also began to stylize its name in CamelCase as "NBCUniversal" rather than "NBC Universal", to reflect the unity of its two main divisions.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="GE_buyout" />

On January 26, 2011, Vivendi sold the remaining 20% of NBC Universal to GE, giving GE complete control of the company ahead of the completion of the sale of 51% of the company to Comcast on January 28, 2011.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Comcast and GE formed the joint venture holding company NBCUniversal, LLC. NBC Universal, Inc. became a unit of Comcast and adopted the name NBCUniversal Media, LLC, on January 29, 2011.<ref>8-K filed on 01/31/2011 General Electric Company</ref>

Comcast had planned to buy out GE's 49% stake over the following seven years, but ownership of NBCUniversal remained split at 51–49% for two years, until the announcement on February 12, 2013, that Comcast intended to complete the $16.7 billion purchase ahead of time all immediately. The sale was completed on March 19, 2013.<ref name="GE_buyout">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="GE_buyout3"/>

The corporation, on July 19, 2012, formed the NBCUniversal News Group with the NBC News, CNBC, and MSNBC divisions.<ref>"New York Deadline" Pat Fili-Krushel To Oversee NBCUniversal News Group deadline.com, Retrieved on July 23, 2012</ref> That same year, Comcast sold its stake in A&E Networks to Disney and Hearst, making the company a 50-50 joint venture.

In February 2013, NBCUniversal merged its two cable divisions, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment & Cable Studios and NBCUniversal Entertainment & Digital Networks and Integrated Media, into one unit while moving out Telemundo and Mun2 to a new division, NBCUniversal Hispanic Enterprises and Content. The move also created the corporate-level position of executive vice president in charge of digital ventures.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In July, the company placed NBC TV Stations and Telemundo's O&Os stations into a new division, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations, with New England Cable News being transferred into NBC TV Stations.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On December 16, 2015, Steven Spielberg, Jeff Skoll of Participant Media, Anil Ambani of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, and Darren Throop of Entertainment One founded Amblin Partners, which would primarily focus on producing and distributing films and television using the DreamWorks Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, and Participant Media brands.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On the same day as the company's formation, Amblin Partners announced that it entered into a five-year distribution deal with Universal Pictures by which the films would be distributed and marketed by either the main Universal banner or its specialty label, Focus Features.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The Girl on the Train was the first film released under the deal, following the expiration of the former's distribution deal with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures with the release of The Light Between Oceans in August 2016.

On April 28, 2016, two days after The Wall Street Journal reported that NBCUniversal's parent-company Comcast was in talks with then-CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg about an acquisition, NBCUniversal officially announced to acquire DreamWorks Animation for a total of $3.8 billion.<ref name="lat-comcastbuy">Template:Cite web</ref> Universal Pictures took over the distribution for DreamWorks Animation films after its deal with 20th Century Fox expired, following the release of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie in 2017. The sale was approved by board members, but was subject to regulatory approval.<ref name="wp-nbcdwa">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On June 21, 2016, the acquisition was approved by the United States Department of Justice.<ref name="deadline-dojapprove">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On August 22, 2016, the acquisition was completed with DreamWorks Animation now completely owned by Universal Pictures.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> That allowed Universal rights to both DreamWorks Animation and Illumination films beginning in 2019. DWA's first film to be distributed by Universal was How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. The company later sold its stake in A&E to Disney and Hearst, making it a 50-50 joint venture.

On February 15, 2017, NBCUniversal acquired a minority stake in Amblin Partners,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> strengthening the relationship between Universal and Amblin,<ref name="NBCUniversal">Template:Cite news</ref> and reuniting a minority percentage of the live-action DreamWorks Pictures label with its former DreamWorks Animation division.

On February 28, 2017, NBCUniversal announced that it would acquire the remaining 49% stake in the Universal Studios Japan theme park that it did not own.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On May 1, 2017, NBCUniversal announced that Sprout would be relaunched as Universal Kids on September 9, 2017.<ref name="variety-universalkids">Template:Cite news</ref> Universal Kids would later cease operations on March 6, 2025.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Attempted buyout of 21st Century Fox assets and subsequent acquisition of Sky

On November 16, 2017, NBCUniversal's parent company Comcast made a bid to acquire 21st Century Fox's filmed entertainment, cable entertainment, and international assets, ten days after The Walt Disney Company (at the time, owners of rival network ABC, cable sports channel ESPN and theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World) was reported to be negotiating with Fox for the same assets. The deal contained key assets such as the 20th Century Fox film and television studios (Universal Pictures and Universal Television's respective rivals), a 30% stake in Hulu, television assets FX Networks, National Geographic Channel, and international television operations such as Star India, while excluding the Fox Broadcasting Company, the Fox News Channel, Fox Television Stations, Fox Business Network, Fox Sports 1 and 2, Fox Deportes, and the Big Ten Network, all of which were spun off into the "New Fox" company (later known as the Fox Corporation) run by the Murdoch family.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

However, on December 11, 2017, Comcast officially dropped the bid, saying that "We never got the level of engagement needed to make a definitive offer."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On December 14, 2017, Disney officially confirmed its acquisition of the most 21st Century Fox assets, which was granted approval from the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division on June 27, 2018, and approved by stockholders from both companies one month later.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On April 25, 2018, Comcast launched its takeover offer for Sky plc at £12.50 per-share, or approximately £22.1 billion.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 21st Century Fox owned a significant stake in Sky and was trying to take full control of it itself, ahead of its own acquisition by The Walt Disney Company. NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke stated that purchasing Sky would roughly double its presence in English-speaking markets, and allow for synergies between the respective networks and studios of NBCUniversal and Sky.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On June 5, 2018, Culture Secretary Matt Hancock cleared both 21st Century Fox and Comcast's respective offers to acquire Sky plc. Fox's offer was contingent on the divestiture of Sky News.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On June 15, 2018, the European Commission gave antitrust clearance to Comcast's offer to purchase Sky, citing that in terms of its current assets in Europe, there would be limited impact on competition. Comcast included a 10-year commitment to the operations and funding of Sky News.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Subscription required</ref><ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Subscription required</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On July 11, 2018, Fox increased its bid for Sky to £14.00 per-share, valuing it at £24.5 billion. Comcast subsequently counterbid just hours later with an offer at £14.75 per-share, valued at £26 billion.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On September 20, 2018, the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers ordered that a blind auction be held "in order to provide an orderly framework for the resolution of this competitive situation". In this process, Fox, followed by Comcast, made new cash-only bids for Sky. After these first two rounds of bidding, there would be a third round where both companies could make new offers. However, the third round of bidding would only be binding if both companies make a bid.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Comcast won the auction with a bid of £17.28 per-share, beating Fox's bid of £15.67.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Sky plc had until October 11, 2018, to formally accept this offer.<ref name="variety-openmarket">Template:Cite news</ref>

Following its auction victory, Comcast began to acquire Sky shares from the open market. On September 26, 2018, Fox subsequently announced its intent to sell all of its shares in Sky plc to Comcast for £12 billion.<ref name="variety-openmarket"/><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On October 4, 2018, Fox completed the sale of its shares, giving Comcast a 76.8% controlling stake at the time.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On October 12, 2018, Comcast announced it will compulsorily acquire the rest of Sky after its bid gained acceptances from 95.3% of the broadcaster's shareholders with the company being delisted by early 2019.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Sky was delisted on November 7, 2018, after Comcast acquired all remaining shares.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

While NBCUniversal and Sky still operate mainly as separate entities within Comcast, following the Sky takeover Comcast has begun the process of integrating some of NBCUniversal's international operations with parts of Sky. Among other moves, NBCUniversal's pay television channels in the United Kingdom will be folded with Sky's, and Sky Deutschland will become the parent company of NBCU's German networks.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Preparation of Peacock streaming service

Template:Main

On January 14, 2019, NBCUniversal announced that it would launch an over-the-top streaming service to compete with Netflix, CBS All Access, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+, HBO Max, and Disney+.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> A reorganization of the major direct reporting division was made. Bonnie Hammer was appointed chairman of NBCUniversal Direct-to-Consumer and Digital Enterprises via the streaming services and the Digital Enterprises unit. Her former unit, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group, was given to Mark Lazarus as chairman, NBCUniversal Broadcast, Cable, Sports and News. Universal Filmed Entertainment Group chairman Jeff Shell added NBC Entertainment, Telemundo and international channels as chairman of NBCUniversal Film and Entertainment.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On September 17, 2019, NBCUniversal announced the service would be called Peacock and launched on July 15, 2020.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 2025, Comcast executives told investors that Peacock had grown a customer base of more than 41 million paid subscribers.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

This new unit consists of Universal Television and Universal Content Productions. Hammer was replaced as chairman of the Direct-to-Consumer and Digital Enterprises unit by Comcast executive Matt Strauss, while Paul Telegdy would become sole chairman of NBC Entertainment and continue reporting to Shell.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On February 25, 2020, Comcast announced it would purchase Xumo from the Panasonic/Viant joint venture for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition of the service—which will continue to operate as an independent business, albeit within Comcast's cable television division—stems mainly from Xumo's partnerships with smart TV manufacturers (including LG, Panasonic, and Vizio), which would allow Comcast to use Xumo's placement to market or showcase Xfinity and other Comcast services as well as use its technology to develop additional streaming platforms. The company plans to add content from the NBCUniversal programming library and the company's various television networks as well as use it to upsell Peacock, akin to ViacomCBS's utilization of Pluto TV.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Vudu acquisition
