Thread: Comcast (owner of G4) to buy NBC?
Started 2 months, 4 weeks ago by CastleBravo
This might be of interest to some of you but a major story broke early this morning that G4's owner, Comcast, is in negotiations to buy NBC Universal for an estimated $27 billion. Comcast would get majority control of NBC Universal which includes NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, among other channels, and the Universal theme parks. The big question is how this will impact G4 and Comcast's other networks...

That's interesting. This could turn into something also very good too.

Kevin and Olivia could appear on Today Show talking about bellybutton fetishes and Adam talking politics on MSNBC.

If this happens, it'd be great to see Adam and Morgan appear on some segments for MSNBC or CNBC. It'd make em seem a little more watchable (Talking about CNBC and MSNBC of course). Do I think it'll happen, no. But truthfully, this seems more possible than Comcast trying to buy Disney. Mostly because NBC's pockets aren't as deep as they used to be, and I think they'd do this just to give them a ...

More is out this morning and it's close to a done deal. Of course that doesn't mean that it is done. Comcast was very close to buying Disney five years ago but that fell through in the 11th hour. Comcast badly wants to be bigger and GE badly needs to unload assets right now. Yesterday GE changed NBC Universal to a "non core asset" which basically means that they don't have any special ...

Will they lay off all the NBC production people and move the shows into the E building?

I watch CNBC all the time. CNBC and G4 are the two channels that I watch more than anything else.

If you think CNBC is liberal, you clearly haven't been watching.

I wondered why TNC was pulled. What a shame. Well thank goodness that was a web show. That would have done considerable damage otherwise.
