Regulatory bodies always look at mergers in the context of the public interest, but the public might be more interested in this deal than previous Comcast transac- tions. Sure, there were concerns raised when Comcast acquired NBCU in ’11, but the programmer didn’t have a direct link to consumers the way TWC does. And it’s not like these are beloved companies—they rank at the bot- tom of the American Customer Satisfaction Index for the subscription TV industry. An L.A. Times story on the deal Thurs was headlined, “How a cable monopoly can get even worse for you.” Comcast and TWC don’t see it that way, repeatedly referring to the deal Thurs as “pro-consumer” and saying it won’t reduce competition because the 2 don’t overlap in any market. “Once you take a breath and think it through analytically and get past some of the hysteria,” you find substantial public interest benefits, Comcast evp David Cohen told reporters. Sen Judiciary Antitrust subc- mte chair Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and ranking member Mike Lee (R-UT) already have promised to hold a hearing.
