Disney Has Concerns With Proposed Conditions on NBC - Comcast Merger

The LA Times Company Town blog:
Fox's letter to Disney does not go into great detail of what the media giant -- whose holdings include ABC, cable networks ESPN, Disney Channel and ABC Family as well as Disney Studios -- is worried about, but its filing is sure to raise eyebrows. Up until now, Disney had kept very quiet about the Comcast - NBC Universal deal. Fox's letter said the company was concerned about conditions "that may be dependent on or that would affect the marketplace negotiations of independent third-parties." Fox could not immediately be reached for comment.
