NFL Network has returned to Xfinity cable for customers after less than 24 hours of being off the air due to an expired programming agreement. The matter was resolved after a discussion between NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. No formal announcement was made, but Xfinity's customer support Twitter account confirmed the renewal of the agreement.
NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell was fired after a nearly decade-long extramarital affair with CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble, who accused him of sexual harassment. The investigation corroborated the complaint, and Shell was fired "with cause," leaving a town that has become desensitized to C-suite sex scandals bamboozled. The timing coincided with Gamble's contract situation, and she recently learned that her contract would not be renewed when it expired this summer. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts delivered the news to Shell, and his staff will now report to Roberts acolyte Michael Cavanagh.
