Just ahead of the election, media conglomerate Comcast-Universal hinted that it was looking into the prospect of either putting up for sale or spinning off its cable television division. The clutch of channels it owns includes a number of cable mainstays, such as CNBC, The USA Network, E!, SyFy, and The Golf Channel, as well as Oprah Winfrey’s lightly regarded Oxygen. The most prominent — and most controversial — name on the list has to be MSNBC.
This was a position you could almost have sympathy over, given the state of cable television these days. Cord-cutting has not only been trending, it has accelerated at a rate that it is by now an outright cultural shift, and the prospects are dim. NBC-U is not facing a buyer’s market but one in which there might be no interest. As a result, it announced today that it would divest the cable division into its own entity.
So most of the cable networks will be bundled together into a new entity (with the curious omission being Bravo, which NBC-U will see remaining under its umbrella) as well as the cinema-based digital outlets Rotten Tomatoes and the movie ticketing/streaming service Fandango. A number of NBC executives will pilot this new entity, which will begin its separate existence in the new year.
The cable channels are reported by Ben Mullin to still be profitable, but the fortunes for this sector are looking dim, and the long-term prospects are expected to be a drag on the company. NBC-U will retain the broadcast division, as this is still considered a revenue stream, entirely due to sports, which dominate viewership these days. Last year, of the top 100 watched broadcasts, we see how dependent they are: 93 were NFL games, four were NCAA games, and the other three were special event broadcasts. The first scheduled programming you see was ranked 136th for the year.
Since that prior announcement by NBC-U, the prospects for its left-wing news channel have only become worse, with the Donald Trump victory taking things to new lows. First, there was the revelation that Al Sharpton pocketed a tidy sum from the lavish-spending Kamala Harris campaign, where the bad reverend was granted $500,000, and he repaid Kamala when he delivered a tongue-bath interview on October 20. This is a severe breach of journalism ethics, and the network heads have not addressed this payola scandal in any fashion. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
