The Media Odyssey

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT: Comcast & Canal+


Listen Later

In Episode 14 of The Media Odyssey, Marion Ranchet and Evan Shapiro conduct a deep dive on the evolving strategies of Canal+ and Comcast. Canal+ stands out for its global expansion—especially in Asia and Africa—despite challenges with high content costs and navigating a digital shift. Comcast, on the other hand, is facing broadband stagnation and controversy over its decision to spin off low-margin cable networks into a new company, raising concerns about long-term growth. Both companies reflect the broader struggle of legacy media adapting to a user-driven, digital-first world. Check out this week's episode to hear more!
