Coalition Opposes Comcast-NBCU

A group of 21 businesses and public interest organizations has formed The Coalition for Competition in Media to oppose Comcast’s bid to acquire 51 percent of NBC Universal. On its Web site, competitioninmedia.org, the group claims that Comcast’s controlling stake in NBCU would give it “unprecedented power nationally and in local cable markets around the country.”

Some of the members of the new coalition include: Bloomberg, National Telecommunications Cooperative Association, Free Press, Writers Guild of America and Media Access Project.
