On Friday, Comcast, NBC Universal’s parent, said negotiations over Peacock carriage between NBC Universal and Roku had stalled and as a result Roku users were to lose access to nearly 50 TV Everywhere apps and local NBC and Telemundo affiliate station apps.

Sources familiar with the issue said a stalemate had resulted over ad-supported revenue sharing between the two companies. Sharing in ad-generated revenue is a major source of income to Roku.

In its statement announcing that Peacock is coming, Roku said, “We are committed to ensuring that you get the very best streaming experience we can provide.”
