According to an article this morning in my local newspaper, the Comcast-NBC merger became final as of late Friday, January 21, 2011; however, this coming Tuesday, February 1, will be when Comcast officially assumes control of NBC. The new NBC logo does away with the peacock and the space between "NBC" and "Universal", to form the new name of the combined corporation: NBCUniversal. This merger is said to result in one of the largest if not the largest media conglomerates in the US, if not the world, as Comcast will have majority stakes in NBC's cable channels and theme parks as well as the NBC television network itself.
