A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM CYNOPSIS MEDIA EVENTS

Speculation abounds!  Will Comcast look to acquire most or all of NBC Universal?  Reports are ran wild Wednesday evening, while Comcast denied an early report as posted on The Wrap on Wednesday evening that a deal had already been reached between the cable MSO and NBC Universal.   What will ultimately happen is anybody’s guess, but keep in mind in 2004 Vivendi sold the majority of the stock it owned in NBC Universal to GE, keeping just 20%. According to Variety, that 20% stake is valued at about $4 billion, a small piece of the $35 billion valuation set by JP Morgan a couple of weeks ago. And Vivendi has about 8-10 weeks to exercise its option, thereby deciding what it wants to do with its remaining portion – force GE to purchase the 20% stake, or let it go on sale with a public IPO.   Stay tuned.
