From Ars Technica: Bloomberg says Comcast is already violating conditions of NBCU merger:

In Washington DC for example, Comcast carries CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and CNBC on channels 35-39. Bloomberg TV, by contrast, is way down the dial ot channel 103, next to C-Span 2 and C-Span 3.

[…]

When it approved the merger, the FCC noted that “by foreclosing or disadvantaging rival programming networks, Comcast can increase subscribership or advertising revenue for its own programming content.”

I am shocked. Shocked, I say! Who could have foreseen this?
