 Happy 62nd Anniversary to Comcast Corporation!

Welcome to my twenty-first blog! Today is the 62nd Anniversary of Comcast Corporation, you know the multinational mass media corporation with a rainbow peacock for its logo. Which was not there original logo. When they purchased NBC in 2013 they decided to use the NBC Peacock logo for their corporate logo as well. The company has three main areas of business: Comcast Holdings Corporation, NBCUniversal, and Sky Group. Below will show most of Comcast Corporation’s properties in the order of foundation and how old they are today.
