“There is genuine excitement” about the move inside the company, Strauss said Thursday at an investor conference hosted by BofA Securities. “We feel really good about our trajectory and our growth, and I think the independence is going to allow us to move faster. It’s like a catalyst for us.”

Comcast revealed the plan in June to separate its Philadelphia-based pay-TV, broadband and wireless business from NBCU.

Discovery was planning before agreeing to be acquired by Paramount.
