NBCU: $1 Billion in digital revenue this year

That’s right, billion. In a presentation to analysts on Thursday, NBC Universal says the digital revenue this year is forecast to hit $1B and next year that number is expected to grow an additional 50 percent, a year ahead of forecast. NBC.com is only credited for $20 million of that $1B. Interestingly, the site did report 41 million video streams, up 250 percent. “The media pie is definitely getting bigger,” NBC Universal Integrated Media President Beth Comstock told Reuters. “We’re ahead of plan in terms of the profitability and the revenue we’re able to bring about in digital.”
