[edit] Does the following really belong in the intro?

"In April 2006, Universal Pictures UK decided to advance the download-to-own sales channel so they set up an agreement with LOVEFILM, Europe’s largest company in the online DVD rental and Video On Demand (VOD) business, to launch the UK’s first feature-film (DTO - Download To Own) internet sales channel this week. Starting with King Kong and other recent movies to follow."

Shouldn't it be in another section? --Sliver7 17:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, it should probably be in the Film section. --Paul1337 18:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I've made that change.--Sliver7 12:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NBC Universal Tag

The tag at the bottom of this and most other of their subsidiaries is outdated. If no one objects I will begin working on it and making sure there is one for each article (USF and IOA don't have it for sure).--Farquaadhnchmn 16:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vivendi sells rest of Universal

Sometime last year, Vivendi had sold the rest of the 20% of Universal Studios to GE. So now, GE owns 100% of NBC Universal. King Shadeed 11:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Any proof or evidence of them selling the 20% to GE, like an article or something? 24.7.217.221 23:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, according to Vivendi's website, "Vivendi has informed GE of its decision not to exercise its exit rights with respect to NBC Universal in January 2007. Vivendi will remain a shareholder in NBC Universal, in which it has a 20% stake." So, actually, Shadeed, you were wrong. Vivendi has NOT sold their 20%. In fact, here's the article for EVERYONE to read: Vivendi remains 20% shareholder in NBC Universal; Modifies terms of its agreement 24.7.217.221 01:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
