NYTimes: Comcast May Control NBC Universal By Next Week!!!!
|
The New York Times reported Sunday that GE and Comcast reached on Friday a tentative agreement to sell 51% of NBC Universal to Comcast, and that the deal could be completed by next week.
Word is Comcast is likely to then keep the NBCU-owned cable channels and sell off the NBC broadcast network and its owned & operated stations to a third party. Other components of NBC Universal include film studio Universal Pictures, TV production company NBC Universal Media and broadcast network Telemundo.
Comcast operates cable-TV systems as well as cable channels E!, G4, Style, Versus, AZN, The Golf Channel, The Comcast Network (formerly CN8), and SportsNet.
NBCU’s cable channels include USA, Bravo, Syfy, Oxygen, CNBC, MSNBC, Universal HD, Chiller, Sleuth, and The Weather Channel.
