Who wouldn’t want to buy the station charged with bringing the world the magic of 30 Rock? Comcast, apparently. The cable giant denied recent rumor that it would be purchasing NBC for $35 billion.
“While we do not normally comment on M&A rumors, the report that Comcast has a deal to purchase NBC Universal is inaccurate,” the company said in a recent statement.
It’s not a flat out denial, to be sure. It’s more of a “someone didn’t get their facts quite right,” i.e., maybe the price was actually $36 billion. According to “people close to the situation,” Comcast is “kicking the tires” over at that network.
So, what’s going on? Only Comcast and the Sheinhardt Wig Company know for certain.
