Because, again, we're all working together to continue to achieve these collective goals around Peacock.
I have tremendous respect for them. I really, I have tremendous respect for them. And I really, I don't think a whole lot about other streaming services. And so this isn't, I'm not trying to be derogatory in any way.

Well, listen, kind of what I said earlier, we're playing to our strengths.

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. I mean, these are things that, again, play to our strengths that we knew drives a lot of engagement. And so that's been a benefit.

But just back to your other comment, what I said about consistency of vision, We never subscribe to the fact that streaming has to be just scripted dramas. Like, that is a big piece of it, for sure. Scripted dramas do drive acquisition and help with brand development.

And you can almost probably think of a show that you could ascribe to a streaming service as kind of like it put it on the map, so to speak, as an inflection point. So that was always part of the calculus for us as well. But we always knew and believed that streaming could be so much more. And so unscripted, live sports, live news, that's been part of Peacock from day one.

And so arguably, it's the hunter becoming the hunted. Where you're seeing other streaming services, I would argue, are moving more into our space than we're moving into their space. Including the fact that we've been very committed from the beginning to an ad model.
