Other then Sunday Night Football, there ain't jack on NBC.

Again, knowing Comcast's track of terrible anti-consumer practices, I see nothing good coming out of this. GE made a huge mistake by agreeing to that $2b refund gamble. They should've made Comcast take the risk instead. ]]>Dec 1st 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/comcast-inches-closer-to-buying-nbc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/comcast-inches-closer-to-buying-nbc/Exactly. Comcast has a habit of anti-competitive behavior and total disregard for their customers. The last thing I want to see is them getting bigger and controlling NBC (I hate to imagine what will happen to Hulu).]]>Dec 1st 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/comcast-inches-closer-to-buying-nbc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/comcast-inches-closer-to-buying-nbc/you forgot one thing their monopoly on apartments who wont let you use any service other than comcast, where i live if you have an apartment you basically have to use them and there really is no other form of internet/tv services that you can use with out breaking your lease.

They wont be getting rid of Hulu. In fact you will probably only be able to use Hulu.
