Note 4: Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into transactions with Comcast.

We generate revenue from Comcast primarily from the distribution of our cable network programming, the fees received under retransmission consent agreements in our Broadcast Television segment and, to a lesser extent, the sale of advertising and our owned programming, and we incur expenses primarily related to advertising and various support services provided by Comcast to us.

Comcast is also the counterparty to one of our contractual obligations. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the liability associated with this contractual obligation was $383 million.
