Comcast to buy remaining shares of NBC Universal from GE

Comcast has offered GE $16.7 billion for GE's 49% stake in NBC Universal. If the deal is accepted, Comcast will own NBC Universal outright. You can read more at http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/12/comcast-buys-nbc-universal-16-billion/. [h/t Chris GST of PWPonderings.com]

Shore's Slant: NBC-U owns USA and I'm sure WWE would like Comcast to carry their new network whenever it launches. This shouldn't affect either of those though because Comcast has owned a controlling stake in NBCU since late 2010 and this move simply brings 100% ownership to Comcast.
