Z, here is a piece of news on David Carr, from Associated Press via Fox News. The very brief article says autopsy results show that he "died of complications from metastatic lung cancer, with heart disease as a contributing factor".

Comcast acquires full ownership of NBCUniversal ahead of schedule

Cable giant buys out General Electric's 49 percent share of media company.
by Timothy B. Lee - Feb 12 2013, 5:30pm EST

Comcast, the nation's largest cable provider, will consolidate its control over NBCUniversal by buying out the 49 percent of the media company that it doesn't already own. Comcast will pay General Electric $16.7 billion for the shares and shell out $1.4 billion for related real estate, including the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Under a deal announced in 2009, General Electric spun NBC, Universal Studios, and various other media properties off into a new joint venture and sold 51 percent of the shares, and effective control, to Comcast.

The merger was intensely controversial. Critics charged that the acquisition would further cement Comcast's already dominant position in the cable market, making it impossible for competitors such as Netflix to compete on a level playing field. But regulators decided not to challenge the merger, settling for a long list of regulatory concessions.

By structuring the deal so that GE initially held 49 percent of NBCUniversal, Comcast limited its downside risk: if the merger went sour, as some some media mergers have, GE would have eaten some of the losses. The original deal gave Comcast an option to buy the rest of NBCUniversal in 2014, but evidently the merger has been going well and Comcast decided to buy GE out ahead of schedule.

Even after the early acquisition, Comcast evidently had cash to spare. The firm also announced a larger shareholder dividend and a $2 billion share buyback plan.

As we reported when the merger was approved, Comcast will now control its massive cable network, the Telemundo Spanish-language network, the NBC television network, TV production studios, the Universal movie studio, the Universal theme parks in LA and Florida, channels like MSNBC and CNBC, and a stake in Hulu. Prior to the merger, Comcast already owned TV channels like E! and G4, and the Philadelphia Flyers NHL franchise.

Corrections: This story originally stated that Comcast will "control" 234 NBC affiliate stations. While NBCUniversal will supply these stations with content, most are independently owned and operated. Also, we stated that Comcast owned the Philadelphia 76ers, which was true when the deal was announced but is no longer true. We regret the errors.

Disconcerting details emerge about driver in Bob Simon's fatal accident
Since November 2011, Fedahi's driver's license has reportedly been suspended nine times. According to DMV records, the suspensions resulted from his failure to respond to court summonses. Recent driving convictions include speeding in September and disobeying a traffic sign in January 2014.

Disconcerting driving record aside, a cousin revealed aspects of Fedahi's past that raise questions about the driver's mindset at the time of the accident. This wasn't Fedahi's first brush with death, according to Rauf Sharif, who told the New York Daily News that his cousin had survived a jump from the window of a Brooklyn building in 2004. The apparent suicide attempt followed Fedahi's split from his wife.

"He was on a suicide mission," Sharif told the Daily News. "He dropped himself from a building. I don't know how many floors in Brooklyn. He went through hard days in his life."

According to CBS New York, Fedahi had been living at a homeless shelter on Ward's Island, off Manhattan. Three sources also confirmed to CBS New York that an injury had rendered his left arm useless many years ago.

and then this



Comcast has declared war in media land.

The company on Wednesday accused its business partners and rivals of "extortion," lashing out against opposition to Comcast's proposed $45 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable.

If approved by regulators, the deal is poised to reshape the country's video and broadband markets, giving Comcast control of 35 percent of broadband Internet service coverage and a major presence in 16 of the top 20 cable markets.

In nearly 1,000 pages of documents submitted late Tuesday to the Federal Communications Commission, Comcast said many of the media and tech companies that have urged regulators to block or add conditions to the deal were doing so out of their own business interests.

"Motive can and often does inform credibility," said David L. Cohen, an executive vice president at Comcast.


Profit increased 14.8 percent, to $1.99 billion, in the second quarter.

Among the prominent companies to oppose Comcast's acquisition of Time Warner Cable are Netflix, the television group Discovery Communications, and Dish, the satellite television provider. The companies have said that a greatly enlarged Comcast would have anticompetitive leverage to push around Internet companies and TV networks.

The York Times media columnist David Carr died of complications from metastatic lung cancer.

Julie Bolcer, a spokeswoman for the New York City medical examiner's office, says the autopsy shows heart disease was a contributing cause of death.

Carr collapsed at the newspaper's headquarters and died on Thursday. He was 58.

He wrote the Media Equation column for The New York Times and penned a memoir about his fight with drug addiction. He was lauded as "the finest media reporter of his generation" by the Times' Executive Editor Dean Baquet
