Monday, March 1, 2010, 2:11 PM The Winter Olympics drew great ratings, but now it's back to the real world, and floundering NBC (GE) must pin its hopes on two aging stars whose appeal probably maxed out 10 years ago. Makes one wonder what Comcast (CMCSA) is getting into. 1 Comment

Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 3:26 PM On Comcast's (CMCSA -2.2%) Q4 earnings call, Morgan Stanley's Ben Swinburne wonders if "some of these emerging platforms, particularly the Apple (AAPL) Tablet," are friend or foe to Comcast's cable plans.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 9:42 AM Rivals prepare to testify against Comcast's (CMCSA) proposed tie-up with NBC (GE).
