Comcast chairman and

supporting COVID-19 relief efforts, while the crisis lasts.
In addition, "Across our businesses, [Comcast has] committed $500 million to support our employees through
continued pay and benefits where operations have been paused or impacted, and we have committed significant resources to support our customers," Roberts wrote in an internal memo published by The
Hollywood Reporter.
