NBCU sets Olympic ad sales mark with more than $1.25B from Paris Summer Games
NBCUniversal Media has set a new Olympic ad sales record for the Paris Summer Games, surpassing its previous $1.25 billion mark from the Tokyo Games. The company is projected to reach $1.4 billion in ad sales, driven by strong linear and streaming viewership. A significant portion of the growth comes from first-time Olympic ad buyers, contributing $500 million. Digital platforms, particularly Peacock, have played a crucial role in this surge, with streaming minutes surpassing previous Olympics. NBCU's dual prime-time strategy, offering extensive live coverage, has significantly increased viewership, with 33.8 million viewers on average. The company is also leveraging a private ad marketplace with The Trade Desk to maximize ad revenue.

Opinion: 'SNL' is wrong to let Donald Trump host
Felix Sanchez criticizes NBCUniversal's decision to allow Donald Trump to host 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL), arguing it normalizes his derogatory comments about Latinos. Sanchez points out the inconsistency of NBCUniversal, which previously severed ties with Trump over his remarks, yet now offers him a platform on a popular comedy show. He highlights the lack of Latino representation on SNL, noting that in its 41-year history, the show has cast only two Latino actors and no Latinas. The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda has sent a letter to NBCUniversal executives requesting the cancellation of Trump's SNL appearance. Sanchez calls for Latino viewers to demand better representation and to exercise their influence not just at the ballot box but also in media consumption.
