Comcast Role in Hulu Captures Attention of Regulators

Wall Street Journal: Comcast and Time Warner Cable are slated to sit down for the first time on Wednesday with Justice Department officials to discuss potential remedies in hopes of keeping their $45.2 billion merger on track.  Specifically, the Justice Department is looking closely at Comcast’s role in Hulu, the streaming service it became a part owner of through the NBCUniversal. In return for approval of the NBCUniversal takeover, Comcast agreed to have no management role in Hulu and be a silent partner.
