Media Giant, Thought to Be in the Running for NBCU, Thinks Comcast Will End Up the Winning Bidder B&C

A very top executive of one of the media companies thought to be bidding for NBC Universal said at a media conference that he thinks Comcast will likely end up getting NBCU, B&C reports. 

Chase Carey, vice chairman of News Corp., said his company is not actively engaged in talks to acquire NBCU, and that "There's a decent chance [the Comcast-NBCU deal] will come to fruition."

Carey made his remarks at B&C's OnScreen Media Summit in New York on Oct. 21.
