Comcast/TWC Shot Clock Restarts at FCC

The FCC restarted the “shot clock” for the Comcast/Time Warner Cable transaction, a spokeswoman for the Media Bureau told us. The clock was stopped Dec. 22 (see 1412220062) because TWC hadn't submitted all of the information requested by the commission, said a letter sent to TWC. Though the bureau wouldn't comment on whether TWC had since completed its submission, an attorney involved in the deal told us it has done so. With all the information requests to the merging companies complete, the FCC will now focus on analyzing the data, the attorney said. Information requests from the FCC to DirecTV, Netflix and several other companies for information related to the deal are outstanding (see 1501050043).
