What if Microsoft merged with Comcast?



Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology company with headquarters in Redmond, Washington. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports, and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and related services. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, the Microsoft Office suite, and the Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers. Comcast Corporation on the other hand, is an American telecommunications conglomerate headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Comcast owns  over-the-air national broadcast network channel NBC, multiple cable-only channels MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Syfy, and E!, and the film studio Universal Pictures. But with the announcement of the Microsoft's takeover of Activision Blizzard, here's an idea I've come up with: What if Microsoft merged with Comcast for $200 billion in early 2023?

History
In mid-2023, after its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, CNBC reported that Microsoft was in negotiations to merge with Comcast for $200 billion. The proposed merger was officially announced the next day, subject to regulatory approval; The combined company would be known as Microsoft Comcast, with combined operations in retail, technology, consumer products, film, television and streaming, would be led by Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts, with Microsoft founder Bill Gates serving as executive chairman, while Microsoft and Comcast would retain their separate brands. In addition, all films and television programs based on Microsoft properties would be made exclusively available on the Peacock library.

Assets
Microsoft's assets will be merged with Comcast's content production businesses, while NBCUniversal became part of Microsoft Comcast.
