NBC Ready to Pay Triple to Gobble Up Thanksgiving Parade Broadcast Rights
Millions of Americans will spend Thursday morning watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a majestic mix of balloons, floats, high school and college marching bands and big stars. NBC, which has had the broadcast rights since 1953, is trying to hammer down a new deal with Macy’s to keep the event on the network and its Peacock streaming service for the next decade, according to people familiar with the talks.
