Leona Helmsley was right but she didn't broaden her scope. Yes, only the little people pay taxes but the little people also go to jail and get the bulk of government punishment. Had she kept her mouth quiet, they would not have singled her out to make an example off. Other than her, and Martha Stewart, there aren't too many big wigs that get carted off to jail.

I am not certain I accounted for the magnitudes properly, but isn't that like an $8 fine on a $138 million violation? Not even a slap on the wrist!

NBC doesn't own Disney. NBC owns Universal (or more correctly NBC is a part of Universal which is majority owned by Comcast).
Disney owns ABC (and ESPN).

| I wonder if they'll buy out the local TV stations My favorite TV station for local newscasts is 22 News WWLP-TV, which is the local NBC affiliate. It is currently owned by LIN corp.
I wonder if the terms of their NBC affiliation prohibit them from getting into carriage disputes with Comcast. WWLP-TV is currently fighting with Charter.
Or maybe Comcast never gets into carriage disputes, gives into the TV station/programming provider demands, and just turns around and raises rates on it's ratepayers.
I have my DVRs set to record the 22 News at Noon, 5 and 6 pm newscasts.
I like the old logo better. Everybody seems to be changing their logos and packaging lately. Wendy's, Sears, TD Banknorth, and a few others have changed their logos. Gap had to go back to their old logo after customer backlash. Even sodas have changed their packaging with Mountain Dew being changed to Mtn. Dew. My favorite is Diet Mountain Dew which is packaged as Diet Mtn. Dew.
I wish they would bring back the old Pepsi logos of the early '90s. And I remember the days when a can of soda out of the machine was 55 cents. Now they sell it by the bottle at $1.50 per container and they have even put debit card readers on the soda/candy machines. | |

He used to have interesting editorials. A college friend lived near their tower and used to joke he could hit 22 with a .22.

Highly doubtful as affiliate agreements are usually for 10 years, and this one in all probability predates the Comcast take-over.

Possibly. If Comcast owned the local affiliate, they'd get paid on retransmission rights and paid as a cable service provider. The reality is however, that free over the air TV is NOT in Comcast's best interest. Comcast would much rather have you paying an exorbitant amount of money per month for the most cheaply produced programming targeted at the lowest common denominator. | |

| | | Re: Award for most un-original said by DaveDude:NBC has the worst logo already, they needed something totally new.
The NBC peacock logo was to show off their new "color" television programming when color TVs were new (1956) and then it became, "Proud as a Peacock."
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_as_a_Peacock
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_logos
It has become part of the identity like Comcast will never be known as anything else even if they tried the Xfinity name change. | |
|
| | Wait... Is this a joke? Wow that is a terrible logo. I am in disbelief that they would do something so hideous.
I guess this means that they truly want to be the same brand. | |
|
|
| | NBC = Government propaganda They should have just put a picture of Obama or used the Democrat party logo instead of the peacock. | |

It looks totally out of line, out of the blue and weird as an official logo, that's for sure. Probably would top the list of the worst make-overs ever.
Karl, did your graphic designer quit and went straight to Comcast? :-)
I see it's actually real. The logo is on the Comcast home page. | |
