Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts said Wednesday the nation’s largest cable provider and owner of NBCUniversal has committed $500 million to support employees as coronavirus quarantines temporarily shut down business units.

NBC is doing a solid for the traditional pay-TV industry. Comcast’s NBCUniversal plans to debut a free ad-supported streaming service to anyone that subscribes to a traditional pay-TV service, including competitors such as Charter, AT&T, Cox, and Dish, in the first quarter of 2020, the company announced Monday.
