Comcast Buying NBC

Well, Comcast has denied it, but that doesn't mean the article is fiction. We'll just have to wait and see.
I would like to think that a buy-out would change things at NBC Universal, but I'm skeptical. The only certain change I can see is that all NBC Universal programming would be yanked from Hulu (given that Comcast is the parent of Hulu rival Fancast).

Yeah, most likely.
Heh.
Heh.
Whether it actually happens or not may be up in the air, but Comcast's interest in NBC Universal seems to be legit.

Can't say I'd be terribly happy about this. Then again, it's a match made in heaven — NBC's programming sucks, and Comcast sucks in general.

Sounds like something to add to my thread "Is Comcast going to Implode?"
Now, if Comcast gets NBC, will i still have to pay $0.99 to see NBC shows on demand (not that i do anyway...i might if it were $0.25)
Hope it doesn't happen. Wouldn't there be a problem with monopolies? Then again, the way Comcast orders (or disorders) its channels, i probably wouldn't notice.

WHAT?!?!?! Did I hear that correctly?! 
gods I hope not.
They might have to come to an arrangement where the media division is autonomous from the telecommunications business to get it past regulated. I could see some good things though with Versus, the Golf channel, and the Comcast Sportsnet channels aligning themselves with NBC sports and Versus taking that next step into a true ESPN competitor.
I wonder if this means there will now be Comcast ads at every commercial break on NBC Universal channels.
Isn't that already happening? The number of commericals i see for Comcast, even though i already have it, actually nudges me to drop it (or at least 1 service).
Is there a way for digital cable to "customize" ads like Google...getting things i would actually be interested in?
I was flipping around last night, and I saw a special 2 minute preview of the new Emmerich movie 2012 on MSNBC. At the end of the preview, it said "See more on Fancast".
It really looks like Comcast already has its claws in.
It's NBC/Universal. NBC, the cable channels, Universal Studios, and the Universal theme parks.
