BREAKING NEWS: GE has reached an agreement to sell a 51 percent controlling interest to Comcast for nearly $14 bil. In answer to MSBNC's "Morning Joe" Scarborough's query earlier this week: the guy you'll be sucking up to is Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. You can take down that photo of Jeff Immelt...
Joe's reax this a.m.: "How exciting!"
Comcastic!!!!!
Read the GE press release. "Jeff Zucker leads off New York venture!" The press pimp came out at like 6a today... The Official Announcement could be later today.
Zucker is like a cock-a-roach.... Or Timex "Takes A Licking But Keeps On Ticking"....
I wonder how many new households MSNBC, CNBC, and Bravo are about to get, and who'll get dumped from comcast systems. Fox News is far too popular to drop, but...
ReplyDeleteYeah, you make a good point, Jim....
ReplyDeleteZucker must have nine lives, or some great dirt on some people.
ReplyDeleteMarty remember when we in the "biz" thought the minnow, Cap Cities, swallowing the whale ABC was huge. hell I remember when the brass at NBC dismissed cable as a non-threat. As far as comcast dropping Fox I would be shocked. that is unless roberts got some cash from obama's stash then anything is possible. just ask fritz henderson who had less time to "fix" GM than obama took to pick a dog.
ReplyDeleteDear Anon on Cap Cities/ABC: Oh, yeah! You make some great points here.
