(as the owner of the international media company ‘NBC universal’ since 2011, ‘comcast’ is a producer of ‘feature films’ + ‘television programs’ intended for ‘theatrical exhibition’ + both [‘over-the-air’ / ‘cable television’] broadcast’)
(‘comcast’ operates ‘over-the-air national broadcast network channels’ (‘NBC’ + ‘telemundo’), ‘multiple cable-only channels’ (including ‘MSNBC’, ‘CNBC’, ‘USA Network’, ‘NBCSN’, ‘E!’, ‘the weather channel’, among others), the film production studio ‘universal pictures’, and ‘universal parks & resorts’ in ‘los angeles’ and ‘orlando’)
