Comcast Eying Vivendi? [Aug 07, 2003, 09:58 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Comcast shows its intent on Vivendi
(thanks Shawn Wallace) has word that another
suitor is calling at Vivendi Universal's door, going so far as to call this
rumor "serious." Here's a bit: "Comcast, the largest cable
company in the US, has underlined its serious intent to bid for the
entertainment assets of Vivendi Universal by reportedly hiring former Universal
Studios boss Frank Biondi as a consultant."
I've been following this because I'm a roller coaster fan.
Vivendi wants to sell everything at once, not in pieces.
They're being "French" about the whole thing. They screwed up going in debt, and now they think they can get 3 billion extra just because.
I doubt this sale will happen soon. Vue is gonna string everyone out, piss everyone off, and will probably sell in pieces when noone cares anymore.
