NBC AND COMCAST ARE MERGING!!!!
this is actually more scary than it is horrible... well it might turn out horrible but we dont know as of yet. Think about one big massive 'government' controlling the US airwaves. Of course this will affect us because we take in some of those juicy waves of shows too!
So, Comcast reaches 1 out of 4 TV subscribers, and NBC reaches 99%. NBC also owns 22 local TV stations and together, they would control 1 out of every 5 hours of TV viewing.
Because of this massive amalgamation, Comcast (the side of the company that sells TV, like Shaw in Canada) will be able to charge people even more for channels and will be able to control more of the AD market. This is horrendous. Comcast already hikes up rates by 8% every year so just think... they will PWN the competition.
Also, smaller shows and independent channels will get shunted for the larger, more popular NBC shows, therefore reducing the amount of views that the viewer is given over the TV.
Overall, not a healthy thing.
Help out. Go to www.freepress.net/comcast to STOP THIS MERGER!!!!
