"Comcast has eyed buying rival cable giant Charter Communications for longer than most people realize – but it hasn’t pulled the trigger, and the operative word is “debt,” On The Money has learned.
Specifically, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts – who unleashed an epic flurry of deal speculation when he revealed last week he planned to spin off NBCUniversal – isn’t about to digest nearly another
$100 billion in debt while he’s in the middle of a massive corporate restructuring, sources said.
Those sentiments were directed to me by people with direct knowledge of the matter after we ran a story last week about bankers touting a Comcast-Charter tie-up, the idea being that the former is now effectively a pure-play cable and broadband distributor looking to grow.
