Interesting write up. Note how it also says Comcast don’t want to buy media companies outright but are more open to JV type arrangements.
I believe they approached SNT with a JV type offer (not a takeover) but the offer was not favourable enough to SNT shareholders to go ahead.
They don’t want to buy Sky outright, so any hopes of some kind of deal with Comcast at this junction are unrealistic.
