Comcast said Thursday Dec. 3, 2009 it will put up $6.5 billion in cash and $7.25 billion in assets to buy 51 percent of NBC Universal from General Electric Co. That means the biggest U.S. cable TV provider would control the NBC and Telemundo networks, about two dozen cable channels and the Universal movie studio and theme parks. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
