Comcast-Time Warner Deal Puts Philadelphia Giant in New York, Los Angeles Bob Fernandez Philadelphia Inquirer Posted: Friday, February 14, 2014, 3:01 AM http://www.philly.com/philly/business/20140214_ Comcast-Time_Warner_deal_puts_Phila__giant_in_New_York__Los_Angeles.html . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/modsehm . .Comcast Corp. made another stunning acquisition on Thursday, purchasing once-powerful Time Warner Cable Co. for $45.2 billion, and creating the following:
.Platforms in the two largest markets in the country, New York and Los Angeles, to promote NBC television, as it does in Philadelphia and other markets.
.Another 11 million eyeballs to be captured by Comcast, which does remain, despite its permutations, a deliverer of cable-TV.
.An enlarged stable of Comcast-owned sports networks, with one that owns the rights to Los Angeles Lakers games.
.Panic and anger in Washington, D.C., where regulators such as the Federal Communications Commission, politicians of every political stripe, consumer advocates and free-marketers, will wallow in a mud-wrestle that should be entertaining and consequential.
. snip .The deal, formally disclosed in a 6:30 a.m. news release and followed by a briefing to Wall Street investors by Comcast chief executive Brian Roberts and Time Warner Cable chief executive Robert Marcus, ended months of speculation over the fate of Time Warner Cable. Smaller rival Charter Communications Inc. had publicly said for months that it should merge with Time Warner Cable and on Tuesday had offered an independent slate of directors for Time Warner Cable's board. Charter's most recent $132.50-a-share offer had been rejected by Time Warner as "low-ball."
