12.03.09 Good morning. It’s still Thursday, December 3, 2009, and this is a special additional edition of Cynopsis, because of early morning breaking news. Officially announced this morning, Comcast Corp., the largest US cable and broadcast provider, and General Electric have come to terms whereby Comcast will become a 51% owner of NBC Universal, GE will retain the remaining 49%. Earlier this week it was announced GE would buy back the 20% stake owned by Vivendi SA, valued at $5.8 billion. Comcast will pony up $6.5 billion in cash and $7.5 billion in assets including the Comcast-owned cable TV networks. The value of the NBC Universal owned businesses – the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, several cable networks, Universal Studios, the Universal Studios theme park, and local television stations – is set at $30 billion. And while this is a huge deal and there will be numerous changes as the two come together, not much is expected to happen until the deal is finalized. That could take anywhere from 10-14 months, if not longer, while the merger is being scrutinized and reviewed by the FCC and the US Justice Department. Comcast will likely launch its online video service under the new name of Fancast Xfinity TV, though the new service may use the simplified name of Xfinity. Originally the service was named OnDemand Online at its initial announcement earlier this year. Comcast already secured Xfinity.com and several similar websites as well as the Twitter feed at Twitter.com/Xfinity in addition to having a commercial ready to promote the new product.
