Speculation is that its because Philly is Comcast's headquarters and that Eisner originally approved of the merger.

That is flat out incorrect.
I work with the media research division at my corporation, and we've actually reviewed the overnights (Neilsens) on Disney Channel shows. In the so-called "tween" cohort they are inarguably strong, but they start to drop dramatically in cohorts above 20 and are in essence "unwatched" by adult heads of households.

Speculation where? That Eisner originally approved the merger? Where did THAT come from???Originally posted by WDWHound

The idea has been everywhere. It is known that Eisner was in talks with Comcast before Comcast made their move, but he want too much money or a gaurantee to remain in charge, so they bypassed him.

You can be assured that ME votes are alreay included in that 1,007,715,682 for............so no, even with his substantial shares he couldn't prevent this. Of course all this is is a vote of no confidence. By virtue of the vote tally he has been reelected as Chairman. Now it is up to ME or the Board to take action if they deem it necessary. No CEO has survived more than a 28% no confidence vote. Eisner should be gone.............but who knows it that will actually happen.Originally posted by OHIO VIKING
I've been reading this thread with interest and I have a question . How many shares does Eisner have and is he able to vote them any way he wants to, or are there any SEC regulations about that? Just curious if that would make much difference on the percents. Thanks

I agree. My goal was only to show other places were she could read about the speculation.Originally posted by Zurg
I'm not sure Jim Hill is a ballanced busines news source.
I did search business sites. Couldn't find any info regarding Eisner and Comcast that predated the initial phone offer that Eisner declined, except in speculation or "unnamed source" comments. And Jim Hill isn't exactly someone I'd trust to have solid info. Thanks.Originally posted by WDWHound
