NBC Universal is interested in TWC, but has decided it will not pay the $5 billion Landmark is asking. Article:

I guess that means then that there's one less contender for TWC.

Why would they sell it? Isnt that their biggest/only asset?

Landmark is selling all of their assets. You didn't hear?

IS this bad?

I think that's a matter of personal opinion. Personally, I think it is. I never liked the idea of NBC buying TWC.

No, i didn't. Why are they selling all of their assets?

I don't know. I don't think they've made the reason public...at least AFAIK they haven't.

Maybe Mr. Landmark is dying. He might have cancer. I'd ask the doctor about it.

You mean Mr. Frank Batten?

Is he the proprietor of the establishment? I've been meaning to give him a call.
