Comcast looking to buy NBC???


My website and blog are taking a little break, since Geocities is closing and I now have to upload everything to a new site, so I am working on a new design and it is gonna take me a while, hoping to get it up by Oscar Season.

Holy, I cannot believe that NBC was worth $55 million this time last year and is now only worth $35 million.

I am trying to decide if this or Leno taking 10:00 is the biggest story for television of 2009.

Broadcasting & Cable reports that Comcast denies the rumour.

They'll deny, deny, deny up til the moment they purchase the company. NBCU should be lucky Comcast is offering that much for their POS network.

Of course they'll deny it. Why wouldn't they?

LOL can you imagine what would happen if Comcast does buy NBC? Headquarters could become that ugly Comcast building! Red Face

Caveat emptor, Comcast...


Hemingway once told a friend he was considering giving up writing. "But Ernest," the friend protested. "You love writing!" "No," corrected Hemingway. "I love having written."

Not always right, but no fool either

It's NBC Universal.

The NBC broadcast unit is a very minor part of the company.

The NBC-owned cable networks are more important.

Universal Studios is far more important.

If this happens, thousands of jobs will be ended, as always happens. It wouldn't surprise me if Focus Features shuts down.
