Rumors of this potential merger date back to early 2020 but NBC has been shopping their Peacock streaming service to other notable players in the streaming market in hopes of forging a deal that would make Peacock a lot more competitive against Disney+ and Netflix.

They already tried to pitch a deal with ViacomCBS but got rejected.

Also NBC's Peacock sub base is supposedly very deceptive since out of the 33 million total subs, only about a third of them are monthly pay subs that use the service regularly.

Only issue is any potential merger deal between NBC and WarnerMedia likely wouldn't happen until next year at the earliest according to industry experts.

The biggest hurdle a merger between NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia would face is either NBC or CBS has to collapse or remain separate. The only reason Disney didn't acquire Fox Sports and FOX Broadcast Network in that merger was bc of anti-trust laws since they already owned ESPN and already owned a broadast network in ABC and it'd give them a monolopy.
