[Ichingcarpenter]

NEW YORK -- Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and John Malone's Liberty Media are interested in NBC Universal, according to a report by CNBC, citing sources.

Cable company Comcast has been widely reported to be in talks with NBC Universal parent General Electric to buy a controlling stake in the broadcast, cable and movie company.

Under the proposed deal, NBC Universal would become a joint venture 51% owned by Comcast and 49% by GE.

But GE, which has been pressured by investors to offload its 80% stake in NBC Universal, is considering a host of proposals for NBC Universal, as partner Vivendi SA whether to sell its 20% stake.

It's time to bring out the sledge hammer and start smashing.
