In case you hadn't heard, the big news about NBC getting together with Universal is all wrapped up, according to this article at ABC News. Now, I wonder if Vivendi will go back to selling water.
This big news should result in the loss of only 200 or 300 jobs - but hey, what's another 200 or 300 jobs in this country, right? Then again, Universal movies being under the NBC hand makes it really simple to put out "Friends" flicks, which can build our economy while letting NBC/Universal stick its tongue out at TiVo users.
With all these media conglomerates growing and growing, they've got to have some sort of big space duel at some point, right? I'm curious to see which of the companies makes itself look like Voltron. Thankfully, The Defamer posted today about the official NBC/Universal org chart that the fine folks at TV Barn put up for our viewing pleasure. Dick Ebersol might want to be the green lion, but Jeff Zucker is absolutely going to be saying "And I'll form the head!" You know it's true.
So if NBCUwhateverwe'recallingit is the lion-based Voltron, who gets to be the stupid vehicle-based Voltron? Probably CBS, right? Fox News gets to be the "Power Rangers" and ABC can be "Pokemon". Okay, enough end of day goofiness. This is what happens when your head spins from too much media consolidation in one day.
