Guarantees Are Sought In Comcast-NBC Universal Deal
(New York Times) –At a Congressional field hearing in Los Angeles on Monday, witnesses pressed lawmakers to demand that Comcast guarantee expanded opportunity for minority-backed cable services, television shows and films in exchange for approval of its proposed deal to take control of NBC Universal. “It’s not going to happen without conditions,” said Alex Nogales, the president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, and one of a dozen media executives and policy advocates who addressed a field hearing by the House judiciary committee, which is one of several bodies overseeing the merger, which would put NBC and its vast news and entertainment apparatus under the control of the cable giant Comcast.
