OT: GE to sell 51% percent of NBC Universal to Comcast   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >
Reply < Prev Message  | 
That's right: the power company that has "imagination at work" is selling 51% percent of the "more colorful" media company to the broadband company that inspired us to "dream big." In return, General Electric is set to buy the French-based Vivendi's 20% share. Quite frankly, I am as "proud as a peacock." Comcast tried to buy the Walt Disney Company back in 2004, but it never happened. More on this website: http://www.geek.com/articles/news/cable-wins-comcast-set-to-buy-nbc-20091116/

With NBC Universal now larger than Disney, they can probably afford to buy UMG from Vivendi down the line. JC...
