Writers Guild of America, West Statement on Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger
LOS ANGELES -- The Writers Guild of America, West issued the
following statement today regarding the proposed merger between Comcast
and Time Warner Cable:
"Comcast’s proposed merger with Time Warner Cable is bad for
everyone: content creators, programmers, suppliers, and consumers. As
writers know all too well, media consolidation leads to already too
powerful companies limiting competition. The WGAW will fight to stop
this ill-conceived merger."
