FCC invites comments on Comcast-NBCU deal

Anyone wishing to comment - pro or con - on Comcast Corp.'s planned takeover of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal unit has until May 3 to contact the Federal Communications Commission.

The agency said on its Web site today that final responses are due June 17.

Comments can be submitted through this link; any filing should refer to MB Docket No. 10-56.

Philadelphia-based Comcast is trying to buy a 51 percent share in NBC Universal, creating a $28.2 billion joint venture with Fairfield, Conn.-based GE.

The deal would give the largest U.S. cable company control of assets including the NBC television network, 10 NBC TV stations, and a movie studio.    - Bloomberg News
