Comcast says it will make decision on Universal Orlando purchase next month

Do they have a choice? Very curious...

What do you mean, of course they have a choice. If they didn't, this wouldn't be a story.

I think the real story is... do they have a choice. When you have so much invested in a business, can you afford to have someone put half of up for sale and potentially into unknown hands? (Recognizing that I could say ice cream is delicious and you would counter it) and again... curious to see what they do.

Their decision will be made next month between 1pm and 6pm, but in reality the decision will be made at 7:14pm

CPJ: I think you need to read up on the story. If NBC-U doesn't exercise their "first dibs," Blackstone can shop around the entire resort for fair market value. If they don't want to be in the theme park business, they don't have to be. They'll get paid for their stake.

Jeff: Pretty sure they will still own theme park businesses in California and in Asia. But you would know best. I guess you're suggesting if they opt out of the Florida business they will be completely out of the theme park business. WINNING!

I'm not suggesting anything. If they don't want to be in the business, this would be the first step toward getting out of it. Since Comcast bought NBC-U, analysts have been split on whether or not they'll continue to do it.
