How in the world can you justify giving Conan $40 million dollars to go away. Use a little common sense Jeff.

Sorry to see the combination Comcast/NBC, bringing two losers together.
I am very unhappy with the current program line-up at Comcast how can it get any better with NBC? Endless reruns of MSNBC programs (which I like), but not five times per night!
Jeff Zucker should be replaced!
Great strides by GE in windpower, congratulations.
“Sharing technology with the Chinese” what does that mean? GE gives them the technology and in a few years they replace GE?

Glad to see this transaction…the news & entertainment business was probably never that great a fit for GE, and in recent years, GE’s brand has been damaged by the increasing perception (an accurate one, I believe) that its media assets (especially MSNBC) were extremely left-leaning. Not sure why GE wanted to offend a signficant % of the population, and of its own employees, by allowing this situation to go as far as it did.

Another shuffle, another dance! Sell the pet, feed the elephant. The peacock had lost it’s luster, not funny, and became a political pet, but we need to continue feeding the elephant GE Capital. Jeffy saved the Company again, . . . for growth in the future. Restore my GE dividend and I’ll personally pat you on the back, “Good Job, Mr Immelt.” Don Wax (retired) – Wenatchee, WA

Folks let’s face it….Jeff Immelt is strapped for real CASH…he is chocking fast with GE Capital mess.

If Immelt had a chance to dump GE Capital he would do it without a beat…

Good luck Jeff…

Maybe JI hasn’t read the deal. Does he realize GE paid Vivendi $5.8 billion for 20% of NBCU and sold 51% of NBCU to Comcast for under $8 billion? Essentially, JI (in his wisdom) sold 51% of a $30 billion business for $2 billion. Great move! Sounds like the same Harvard logic that Timothy Geithner has been peddling lately.

I heard that Jack Donaghy is going to replace Zucker? I am impressed with Jack lately and feel he would make for a good CEO.

Give Jack a chance to run the place.

If Zucker could not make NBCU profitable who believes he can do any better with this venture?

Another GOOD-OLD-BOYS shuffle by JI.

Wish you all would go away and honesty & integrity restored within GE.

I can see JI rationalizing Tiger is still a good man.
