reply to EPS For the same reason that GE does Appliances, Aviation-engines, Banking, Credit Cards, Commercial Finance, Locomotives, Health, Lighting, Parks & Recreation, Energy, Gas, Oil, ... because it can!
Oh btw, GE is the world's largest Airplane owner. When airliners want to buy a new plane, GE finances the plane and holds the title to it until it's paid off.
The crap you learn during new employee orientantion. hahahahah!
Honestly I'd rather see it spun off into its own company if anything- I don't see why GE needs to own a media company.
Yea that would make most sense. Ge nor comcast have any business owning NBC.
I hope comcast doesn't turn NBC into fox if this happens. fox has a habbit of canceling shows before giving them a real chance to succeed. -- I found the key to success but somebody changed the lock.
