Charter Communications Inc. struck a deal with Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal that will give its cable-television customers access to the Peacock streaming service at no extra cost, as traditional TV providers fight to keep customers from cord-cutting.
The multiyear distribution agreement will make the ad-supported version of Peacock available to Charter’s Spectrum TV Select subscribers in the coming months, the companies said in a statement Wednesday. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
