The Adjacency Stack · Growth & Portfolio
Comcast Stacked the Whole Media Pyramid. Then It Started Taking It Apart.
Comcast spent over $60 billion stacking cable pipes, NBC, Sky, and parks on top of each other. In November 2024 it announced it would spin off the cable-network layer it bought in 2011 — because the pipe and the content stopped reinforcing each other.
