Actually, per MSNBC, it's been over a year of negotiations. And, GE will still be part owner for the next 3 years or so.

Good. Maybe Comcast will return the Weather Channel to what it should be rather than MSNBC with oh, by the way, here's the weather forecast.

Without net neutrality this could be a bad thing.

I just read* you'll need to rent a box in order to receive your local NBC affiliate from an antenna.

I cannot see how this will affect our viewing options yet - anyone else care to chime in on that front?

Yes.
A lot of talk came up recently as the deal was about to close.

With or without it, this will be a bad thing on different levels. I don't see Comcast pulling NBC out of its programming nose dive. Maybe if they lose Zucker, they can slow it, but I just don't have faith that Comcast can develop a successful Broadcast TV network like ABC or CBS.

Comcast will figure a way to $cr3w the consumer - count on that!
