It was originally a joint venture between Viant Technology and Panasonic; Viant's stake was later acquired by Time Inc., and the service as a whole was acquired by Comcast in 2020—seeking to use it as a complement to its paid streaming service Peacock. In 2022, Comcast announced that Xumo would become a joint venture with Charter.
