Merry Christmas. Prep the wedding music

The merger of NBC Universal and Comcast is all but a lock, according to stories in various news sources. Comcast got a big thumbs-up from FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, who conditionally supported this civil union pending Comcast's acceptance of some limitations on its reach as a cable provider. Full FCC approval's expected next year. The Justice Department is still vetting this thing for possible antitrust issues. See the stories in the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal for more.
