Comcast & MSNBC
A few weeks ago, Comcast bought shares from MSNBC to give it a 51% holding....does anyone know how this will affect MSNBC programming, if at all? Haven't heard a word about it since the day the deal was made.

2. Do you think since they now own MSNBC, that they will put it back
on the line-up for us poor basic subscribers?
On second thought, never. This is Comcast we're talking about.

3. Since GE is publicly traded and Comcast is publicly traded, the SEC still has to weigh in
It'll be February at the earliest before controlling interests kick in.

Then we'll know what happens.
