						<p>Cable giant Comcast is trying to forge a partnership with Walmart to sell smart TVs as the cable giant tries to expand its footprint in video streaming, a new report says.</p>
<p>The deal being discussed would see the nation&#8217;s largest retailer promote TV sets outfitted with Comcast software allowing viewers to sort through their various streaming apps, like similar offerings from Roku and Amazon&#8217;s Fire TV, <strong>according to The Wall Street Journal</strong>.</p>
<p>The TVs would likely be manufactured by a third party and could potentially carry Walmart&#8217;s branding, the paper reported Tuesday, adding that the talks are still in an early stage.</p>
<p>The partnership would reportedly help Comcast boost its streaming business as its core cable TV operation continues to shed subscribers. The smart TVs would also give the NBC owner a new avenue to promote Peacock, the network&#8217;s streaming service that launched earlier this year, according to the Journal.</p>
<p>Comcast didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a request for comment on the reported Walmart talks. But CEO Brian Roberts hinted at a September conference that the Philadelphia-based company was &#8220;looking at smart TVs on a global basis.&#8221;</p>
<p>Comcast would face stiff competition from Roku and Amazon, which already control more than 70 percent of the US market for streaming-media players, the WSJ reports. Roku also has an existing partnership with Walmart to sell smart TVs under the Arkansas-based retailer&#8217;s Onn brand, according to the outlet.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re constantly having conversations with current and new suppliers about innovation and new products we can bring to our customers, and we don’t share details of those discussions,&#8221; Ryan Peterson, vice president of electronics at Walmart US, told the Journal.</p>
