    How does Jeff Zucker keep keeping his job? I don't get it. Does he have, like, secret photos of God or something? #peterchernin

    So, is Zucker a douchebag who sucks at his job or a nice guy who sucks at his job? If he's a nice guy, bully for him!

    @Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: Jeff Zucker is definitely not a nice guy. But having met with him, I have to say his bravado and arrogance can come off as rather charming, in a dickish older brother kind of way.

    @Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: I used to work in corporate and met big Z a few times... he's a child working in the costume of an ugly, sad man. He hasn't been fired because he's a great puppet of the GE mafioso and delivers the $$ that they crave, session C after session C (GE Speak). CFO Lynn Calpeter really runs the show and big Z just vomits out the same sad message of his corporate puppet-masters. If you really want to have fun pointing fingers for the NBC spiral, look upwards to Don Immelt.

    My worry would be Hulu and online TV in general.

    I'm sure Comcast would prefer people to use their subscription service (cable) and Murdoch has been making noise about charging fees. So if Comcast were to get a chunk of Hulu and become the source for a large segment of licensed online video content, it'd only be a matter of time until we're all paying a nickel, whenever we want to watch tee-vee.

    A purchase would mean Comcast is doubling-down on it's bleak future - tv will be via the internet, internet will be wireless. revenues won't support big productions, etc.

    @daveyjonesisdead: Comcast delivers the internet. If video goes away, they just charge more for broadband.

    Internet will be wireless, but only as an add on to wireline. Capacity and throughput of wireless are simply not enough, even in 4G, to have 100 million households watching video. Wireless supplement, but not replace, wireline.

    Ask ATT how the data usage from iPhones is treating their wireless network.

    Comcast, which owns cable and internet pipes but not the stuff that goes through them, has always wanted to own a content company, and made a failed pass at Disney five years ago.

    Not true. Comcast also owns Comcast Networks which includes E!, Versus, Golf Channel, Style and G4

    Oh, fucking hell.

    Comcast is like borrowing cable from a prison inmate who's aggressively fond of ass-rape in the place of all other non ass-rapish currency. Mark my words Comcast will specially install a NBC vending machine in your house in order to collect every time you watch Community (deserved) or Psych (blasphemers!).

    Well, in my experience, it would mean their Internet would go out all the time and they'd be seriously overcharged for DVR.

    I am soooooo excited about the deal for A Single Man. It's a powerful book, and from what I've read, Colin Firth is amazing as George. The production team from Mad Men was also on helm for the film. All that plus Tom Ford, Lee Pace, and Matthew Goode... I'm just glad the movie is getting the release it deserves!

    "Their cable operations are a disaster" isn't quite true, since the USA Network is basically keeping the entire company afloat right now.

    @Magister: Also, isn't it really really lame to spend TV time bashing your competition like this? Why do Bill O'Reilly's viewers care what MSNBC's ratings are? I mean, I agree Zucker is blowing it, and clearly NBC is in trouble. But I don't get this whole "feud" thing. It's so inside.

    @Rhymenocerous: That was sort of my point with my earlier comment to this post; The only thing O'Reilly, Olbermann and Campbell have in common is that they're in the broad category of "news & information".

    Campbell Brown might be able to trade viewers in and out of both programs, but O'Reilly's people aren't going to switch to Olbermann and those apt to side more with Olbermann politically aren't going to be religiously watching these kind of shows.

    Personally, I just wish Olbermann and O'Reilly would quit playing to the headlines and just do their shows, either that or they both might be earning a time-out.
