More than a dozen states — including the home of Hollywood — are bolstering or considering expanding tax credits and incentive programs for movie and television production, hoping shoots can re-energize their economies. Meanwhile mega productions from WarnerMedia, Apple and Netflix have been filming in states that recently expanded their incentive programs, such as Oklahoma, Montana, Oregon and Kentucky.
Comcast Corp. intends to refund the programming fees its subscribers paid for regional sports networks in the second quarter, the Philadelphia cable giant said Wednesday. The rebates are likely to show up as credits on future bills, not dollars in someone’s wallet.
