    MacVoices #26208: Live! - A Monitor Resource Site, Comcast and NBC, and Updated Invites Jul 13, 2026
    Show notes

    A resource for checking Mac external-display support, Comcast's move away from NBCUniversal, Peacock's streaming and sports strategy, and whether broadband offers a stronger business model than media all started off this MacVoices Live! conversation. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Ben Roethig, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Norbert Frassa, Jim Rea, and Web Bixby examine Apple Invites and question why so many Apple features launch with fanfare but receive little sustained development.
