“can lead to some real change that has been lacking over the years in this country” and that “Comcast can play a constructive role.”
Speaking at the annual meeting of shareholders, held virtually Wednesday morning, he said the cable and entertainment giant will have a number of initiatives “in the months and years and weeks ahead” and stressed the value of the conglom’s news coverage – and increasing physical risks to news teams – and its push since 2011 to expand inexpensive home internet to underserved communities.

Theme parks, which have been an increasingly significant financial contributor, are also closed, but slated to reopen in Orlando at least, this month.
