Comcast Considers Buying NBC Universal
--------------------------------------



In business news, the nation’s largest cable television company,
Comcast, is reportedly in talks with General Electric to buy just more
than half of NBC Universal. Such a deal would give Comcast control of
the NBC network, the Spanish-language Telemundo, cable channels
including MSNBC, dozens of local television stations and the Universal
film studio. The proposed deal would likely face scrutiny from
regulators.
