Even if the FCC or DoJ block the merger, there is still hope. This also give a precedent for the merger to be approved.

i dont understand why this is a big deal if they merge. I mean its only 2 choices basically having the same thing. if a business needs to merge to survive, then let them do it.

I also find it funny that they would even consider blocking it, when you go to any area and this country and cables companies can have a certain area locked only to them. I live in Eastern North Carolina where are only choice is 1 cable company, the smallest and worst company you could have. The FCC is very corrupt imo. teresstial stations go off the air and are bought and sold like going to a grocery swap meet. Id like the merger, because it could bring cheaper prices, and even better content for all.
