    Comcast and NBC/Universal in merger talks

    ....with Comcast shelling out 33 BILLION dollars!

    That's some crazy stuff right there.

    Sorry I misplaced the link I had for this.

    Yeah, I was reading about this last night. It would be awful on so many levels.

        This would be horrible for all competition in the market. Comcast has already and is pulling channels off other providers because they can. Hopefully some government agency will strike down any deal.

          Comcast has ridiculous money but this might go just like their talks about buying Disney and Sprint.

              The worst network paired with the worst television provider?

              It just doesn't get any better than this folks!

                They probably can't do anything with OTA NBC stations, but they would also own Syfy & USA, which are probably close to being the 2 highest rated drama cable channels.
