Xumo is rarely discussed among the FAST TV apps. Also the current state of Xumo is a joint venture of Comcast and Charter. I rarely see Comcast discuss about Xumo TV app given their main priorities are centered on the Peacock app.

Colin Petrie-Norris, the chief executive and founder of Xumo (now a Comcast-Charter joint venture), has left the company.

First reported by The Desk, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to StreamTV Insider that Petrie-Norris chose to leave the company, with Wednesday his official last day.


Petrie-Norris founded Xumo over a decade ago in 2013 in the nascent days of free linear ad-supported streaming and served as CEO before its reported $100 million acquisition by Comcast in 2020, after which he spent time as SVP of Consumer Entertainment for Xfinity. Once the Xumo joint venture between Comcast and Charter formed in 2022, Petrie-Norris has led efforts, including as chief revenue and platform officer.
