Comcast in talks to buy NBC Universal.
Of the good: NBC would be back to being owned by people in the entertainment* business, instead of GE, which, as far as I can tell, is in the business of being in businesses.
Of the bad: Apparently do not intend to fire Jeff Zucker as first act of business.
*entertainment distribution, anyway. They have a vested interest in people actually desiring to watch the stuff that is shown on their networks, which it is not clear to anyone that NBC actually cares about right now.
