Condensed Consolidating Financial Information [Abstract] |
Condensed Consolidating Financial Information | Note 20: Condensed Consolidating Financial Information Comcast (“Comcast Parent”), Comcast Cable Communications, LLC (“CCCL Parent”) and NBCUniversal (“NBCUniversal Media Parent”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed each other’s debt securities. In addition, the Comcast revolving credit facility and the Comcast commercial paper program are also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NBCUniversal. The Comcast commercial paper program is supported by the Co mcast revolving credit facility. The debt securities within the guarantee structure total $44.3 billion, of which $10.7 billion will mature within the next five years. In October 2015, we merged three of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Comcast MO Group, LLC (“Comcast MO Group”), Comcast Cable Holdings, LLC (“CCH”) and Comcast MO of Delaware, LLC (“Comcast MO of Delaware”), with and into CCCL Parent. Comcast MO Group, CCH and Comcast MO of Delaware were guarantors pri or to the merger and were collectively referred to as the “Combined CCHMO Parents.” Accordingly, the financial information for CCCL Parent reflects both the former Combined CCHMO Parents and the CCCL Parent for all periods presented. Comcast Parent and CCC L Parent also fully and unconditionally guarantee NBCUniversal Enterprise’s $4 billion of senior notes, as well as the NBCUniversal Enterprise revolving credit facility and the associated commercial paper program. NBCUniversal Media Parent does not guarant ee the NBCUniversal Enterprise senior notes, credit facility or commercial paper program. Comcast Parent provides an unconditional subordinated guarantee of the $185 million principal amount currently outstanding of Comcast Holdings’ ZONES due October 2029. Neither CCCL Parent nor NBCUniversal Media Parent guarantee the Comcast Holdings’ ZONES due October 2029. None of Comcast Parent, CCCL Parent nor NBCUniversal Media Parent guarantee the $62 million principal amount currently outstanding of Comcast Holdin gs’ ZONES due November 2029 or the $3.3 billion of Universal Studios Japan term loans.
