Reply to comment by Isiddiqui in NBCUniversal’s Peacock Tops 20M Paid Subs, Streamer’s Loss Hits $978M in Fourth Quarter by MarvelsGrantMan136

>”They won’t be able to make any money in just being studios for other streamers.”

Why not? They could just create higher quality content and sell it for more money

And when the streamers they are trying to sell it to balk on the price? (Esp in favor of their own original content)

There is a reason they are clinging to the cable model even though they all have their own studios.

You’re asking a studio and network to focus solely on just one of their business models, effectively killing off the company. Most companies that only produce content are significantly smaller companies than NBC is. They are a producer and a distributor.

Unless Netflix is going to pump their price way up or create different Netflix channels, that's not going to happen. NBC spends about $10 billion on non-sports content. If they license all of it to Netflix at cost (which means they make no profit,) then that would require Netflix to increase their content budget by 60%.
