What exactly does Comcast already own? Here's a list
Summary
Adorable cut-ups aside, Comcast calls Fandango "the nations leading moviegoer destination," which exclusively markets tickets for 16,000 venues and offers clips and dish about the latest flicks. Up until this month, Daily Candy seemed to be fixated on Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC—these cities being the featured towns on its dropdown search menu. But Gawker notes that Daily Candy announced layoffs of regional editors on Thursday, leaving only New York, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco unscathed. It already operates a vertically integrated national network that includes two delivery systems (Internet and cable), video programming that reaches close to 100 million people, Web publishing, Web TV on demand, social networking, sports teams, performance stadiums, event and audience marketing/management enterprises, with financial interests in motion pictures, 4G wireless, public television, and more TV on demand. "This deal is a perfect fit," declared Comcast CEO Brian Roberts on Thursday, "and will allow us to become a leader in the development and distribution of multiplatform anytime, anywhere media that American consumers are demanding."
