NBC Veterans Blame News Division Woes on Comcast

Vanity Fair: Since Comcast took control of NBC, the network’s news division — famously termed Comcast’s “crown jewel” by CEO Brian Roberts — has endured one debacle after another. “When Comcast took over, they had the No. 1 morning show, the No. 1 Sunday show, and the No. 1 evening broadcast,” said a former top NBC exec. “That’s all completely fallen apart. I don’t know how you blame anyone but Comcast and the people it brought in. It’s been a nightmare.”
