    I can get my local Comcast sports channel, and Comcast-owned Versus, on my Verizon system.

    Why would Comcast pull NBC content from DirecTV? They would have to believe that pulling the content would initiate a massive consumer withdrawal from satellite TV, otherwise it would just be a lost revenue stream.

    This also shows that Comcast/NBCU deal not about digital/online but about TV channels. Short-sighted.

    As a native and resident New Yorker, it's fun to see two provincial cities duke it out. May the least worst win.

    People don't want daily emails on useless expensive shit they could buy if they had any money, which they don't, so they can't?

    Advertisers don't want to pay to be part of daily emails about that?

    Killing the Daily Candy local edition in Philly, home to Comcast HQ - youch. And expanding into beauty, entertainment, mom-as-mom and mom-as-woman content - yuck.

    @GlasgowRose: Has anyone heard of this "mom-as-woman/mom-as-mom content" term before? It sounds... well, admirably misguided.

    @econdave: I am familiar with Philadelphia's wide variety of quality craft beers. However, as a high-minded liberal elite, I can only drink lattes and chardonnay.

    Um, I'm not sure what all this foaming at the proverbial mouth is for. Comcast at least deals with the distribution of content. GE makes light bulbs and kitchen appliances. What it was doing in the entertainment business really never made any sense. At all. Especially because GE represents even more than Comcast what you got the panties in a twist about. Also: Illadelph might play the younger brother to NYC, but it's not Cleveland we're talking about here. Philly's got soul, cheesesteaks, and A. Iverson back. A lot of fat and drama right there.

    Don't forget who runs Comcast's entertainment nets (E!, style etc) & will now oversee NBC, Bravo, SyFy, etc - Hollywood-based Ted Harbert.
