Walmart Inc. is in talks to sell Vudu to Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal, which could use the online-video platform to bolster its soon-to-launch Peacock service, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The discussions haven’t yet led to an agreement, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Walmart declined to discuss the details of any talks, but said it was “constantly having conversations with partners.” NBCUniversal declined to comment.
