Comcast Corporation is a global media and technology company headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1963 as American Cable Systems, it was rebranded as Comcast in 1969 and is now a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq stock exchange. As one of the largest telecommunications and entertainment conglomerates in the United States, the company reported annual revenue of over $121 billion in recent years and employs more than 180,000 people.

Comcast's operations are divided into several major segments. Its connectivity business, widely known through the Xfinity brand, is the largest provider of cable television and internet service in the U.S., also offering wireless and home phone services. Through its NBCUniversal subsidiary, Comcast owns and operates a vast portfolio of national and international broadcast and cable television networks (including NBC and Telemundo), the Peacock streaming service, Universal Pictures film studio, and Universal theme parks. The company also owns the European media and telecommunications conglomerate Sky Group.
