There is a lot of breaking news and commentary out there about the sale. The piece I am linking to says that Comcast will commit to keeping NBC and free over-the-air TV:
http://www.tvnewscheck.com/articles/2009/12/03/daily.4/ Excerpt: As part of an early pitch to federal regulators who will be scrutinizing its proposed acquisition of a controlling interest in NBCU, Comcast says it is fully committed to TV broadcasting and that it will work with NBC affiliates in finding ways to sustain the free, over-the-air service. "Notwithstanding the turbulence in the current media marketplace and the ongoing threats to the business model of a national broadcast network, [Comcast] remains committed to continuing to provide free over-the-air television through its O&O stations and through local broadcast affiliates across the nation," says Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen in a "regulatory letter" released this morning along with details of the deal that will make Comcast the 51-percent owner of NBCU. -- TV or Not TV ....
