To answer your question, though, as the market moves more and more towards bundling, I do see that becoming an increasingly larger portion of our subscriber base. And again, taking the history lesson from what we know about bundling, the one thing that arguably has always held the bundle together has been sports.

fairly consistently since we've launched Peacock with real purpose and intention, knowing that not only is sports going to be a driver of acquisition, which has proven to be true for us, but that sports is going to be an important component that if the market does move to bundling, that not only will we solidify our place in that bundle,

But equally important, if not more important, is that you get the right wholesale economics around how you're positioned in that bundle. And so we feel like we're in a really good position based on the trajectory that we're on. But if the market does move more towards bundling, we also feel like we're well positioned to be included in that kind of packaging.

Well, I'm describing price value. And there's a high value on sports. And that's obviously manifesting itself when you just look at sports rights and the price that sports rights are going for in the market. And so essentially, yes. I mean, yes to your question that we see ourselves. I mean, if you look at Peacock just as an example, we have more live sports than any other streaming service.
