CEO Brian Roberts vowed Comcast would look to play a 'constructive role' amid the debate about social and racial divides
Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts on Wednesday discussed the company's impact from and reaction to the novel coronavirus pandemic and social upheaval following the death of George Floyd.
He also vowed Comcast would look to play a "constructive role" amid the debate about social and racial divides and launch initiatives in the weeks, months and years ahead to help address them. He didn't share details on those, but mentioned the firm's push in recent years to bring affordable internet services to underserved areas. Roberts concluded that the challenge was "to reimagine all forms of our society and our corporate practices.
About the shareholder's suggestion that MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi and NBC News White House correspondent Hallie Jackson seemed to support extremism on air, Roberts said he was not familiar with any video clip the question may have referenced. He later also said that "we are optimistic that there is going to be a thoughtful and gradual return” for its businesses closed and impacted by the virus, but also warned that "we will continue to feel the impact of this crisis significantly in the current quarter and quarters ahead."
