And one of our strengths, and to be honest, I did not appreciate this before. when I first came to NBC, just how much people love the NBC content. And I'm not just talking about the current programming, I'm talking about the deep catalog of content that NBC has. And there's a very, very large, we have 80,000 hours of programming on Peacock on demand.

that has been a huge advantage, you know, to have a show like The Office, Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you know, to be able to have the Dick Wolf catalog of Law & Orders and Chicago's, to have every season of SNL.
