• GE and Vivendi agree on terms that’ll allow a Com­cast deal to go for­ward. How much is Vivendi’s 20% stake in NBC Uni­ver­sal? $5.8 bil­lion. At least that’s the num­ber the water com­pany agreed on with Gen­eral Elec­tric. GE, which owns 80% of the com­pany, is in the midst of build­ing a 50/50 joint ven­ture with media giant wannabe Com­cast. The deal clears the way for that to hap­pen. source
