Comcast, Walmart Silent on Report of Smart TV Talks

Comcast and Walmart didn’t comment Tuesday on reports they’re in talks to develop and sell smart TVs. A Tuesday Wall Street Journal article said the companies are discussing possible Walmart-branded TVs that would run Comcast software with streaming apps on a platform similar to those offered by Amazon, Roku, Google and Apple. Walmart would get a cut of the streaming revenue. Walmart sells Roku TVs under its Onn private-label brand and from Hisense, JVC, RCA and TCL.
