On Friday, Comcast will take a 51 percent stake in NBC Universal after a yearlong regulatory review resulted in government conditions that prevent it from impeding the growth of online video services such as Netflix and Hulu.

I just wonder what this means for NBC, SYFY, USA, etc. On DirecTV, Dish, UVerse, and other cable providers.

Now that comcast owns NBC, all NBC programming will no longer start at specific times. Instead, all shows will begin within a two hour time window.

My handle is Tweety but I have nothing to do with the organization of similar name. I just had a really big head as a child so folks called me tweety bird.

And the show will not be able to finish that day and you will have to return to it on a later date for viewing completion.
