At NBCUniversal, Declines in Broadcast and Cable TV

By Mark Joyella 

Comcast released its earnings report for the first quarter of 2015, and the company’s NBCUniversal unit reported revenue declines in both cable and broadcast TV–growth off 6% in cable, and 14% at broadcast’s NBC.

Last week, the Pew Research Center released its “State of the News Media 2015” report, which found “stagnant” growth for cable.

In April, MSNBC reported double-digit declines in ratings. Overall however, Comcast’s earnings report beat analysts’ expectations, with a rise in high-speed internet customers offsetting a loss in cable customers.
