Vox Media Eyed as Possible Acquisition by Comcast

Fortune: Comcast recently held acquisition talks with digital publisher Vox Media. The potential deal fizzled out within the last month. One trouble spot? Comcast’s proposed $45.2 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable. For the past year, Comcast has been wary of acquisitions while the Department of Justice scrutinized its mega-buyout for antitrust concerns, putting the tech giant on the M&A sidelines. Now, however, it appears that Comcast is planning to withdraw its Time Warner Cable bid, making it well-positioned to go on an acquisition spree for smaller companies.
