I don't know if this entirely belongs in this section but it could have repercussions on the future of LBT. Universal as it existed in the beginning of LBT isn't around anymore, for a few years now it has been NBC Universal. The controlling stake of NBC Universal is owned by GE (they seem to own everything these days) with the other large player being a company called Vivendi SA, which owns 20% of NBC Universal. Now it seems there is going to be a change of hands. Right now it appears as if GE is going to buy out Vivendi's stake then sell 51% of NBC Universal to Comcast, giving Comcast the controlling stake of LBT's owner. Now this could effect LBT in no way what so ever but the fact is that NBC Universal will have a new owner with different priorities, and maybe even interests in resurrecting old franchise.
