Comcast's NBCUniversal has also expressed interest in a joint venture with Paramount+, as The Wall Street Journal first reported earlier this year. The talks didn't progress and never got particularly far, according to people familiar with the matter. "The sheer volume of hit content that we could offer together would be tremendous across TV, film and sports, and would attract millions of viewers," McCarthy said during the town hall in reference to a potential partnership with an existing subscription streaming service like Max or Peacock. "Plus, we would share in all other non-content expenses." Spokespeople for Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal and Paramount Global declined to comment.
