Comcast NBCUniversal is reportedly in talks to acquire free, ad-supported streaming service Xumo from current owners Panasonic and Meredith Corp., reports Variety, citing the Wall Street Journal who broke the story last week. Xumo, who offers free TV, movies and premium channels on more than 30 streaming platforms, has been on the market for several months and has a prior relationship with Comcast, so this could be a good fit. According to Variety, Xumo and the cable giant made a deal last summer to include Xumos service on Comcast Xfinitys X1 set top cable box.
