This article is about something called NBC U... but it serves to remind us of big changes at NBC.

Ok... just got it... NBC U = NBC/Universal :banghead::dunce:

Comcast announcement soon
Cabler racing to put post-merger NBC U plan into place
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

As the pieces start to fall into place on the post-merger Comcast/NBC Universal exec structure, some sort of an announcement could come as soon as next week.

According to multiple insiders, Comcast brass are well aware that a wave of uncertainty has gripped NBC U in recent weeks. That's why the merger's transition team is racing to finalize deals and announce the new setup before Thanksgiving.

Some sources believe that at least part of the new structure -- specifically, the cable side -- could be revealed soon.

7. New Word...
Schusterized...This is where you are on permanent off-air and not allowed to broadcast elsewhere, which is worse than a firing. It is more like riding out a contract that they would have to pay anyway.

8. MSNBC will be a throwaway network.
