style issues

The very first sentence in this article sounds like an advertisement. It really should be written simply as "Comcast Corporation, formerly registered as Comcast Holdings, is a US based mass media and communications company. It is currently ranked as having the highest revenue in the world as a International Media Corporation.

Comcast and AT&T Merger

I feel that the discussion of the merger referenced in item 72, not only leads the audience to presume that comcast has current holdings in AT&T U Verse, but also the source has no affiliation with the security and exchange commission. The current Direct TV merger illustrates that competition between the two independent companies exist, and reference the previous use of broadband vs the new DSL method.

Deleted Imageworks sub-section

Greetings Wikipedians. I deleted the list of bullet points headed "ImageWorks" because it seems totally out of place in the Overview section. There was no context given to explain what ImageWorks is, nor its relationship to Comcast. And I can't think of any reason why those bullet points might belong there, or in this article at all for that matter. And so, being ever-mindful of Misplaced Pages's guidance to "be bold", I have taken action. If that was wrong, please tell us why. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 13:31, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Ambiguous alert (woo!)

"Comcast is described as a family business. Brian L. Roberts, its chairman, president and CEO, is the son of founder Ralph J. Roberts. Roberts owns or controls about 1% of all Comcast shares…"

Yes, but which Roberts? – AndyFielding (talk) 07:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Erm, that should've been "Ambiguity alert". Apparently the mobile version of WP's editor doesn't let us correct our Talk topics, just reply to them. I'm married, so this seems familiar. – AndyFielding (talk) 07:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Overpriced

I am 70 yo caring for 2 disabled adults and an Autistic child I pay 321.95 a month for cable while you took away 2 premium channels and added around 35 minutes of commercials to each show which I know the company's pay also. How many billions do you really have to make? Is billions you and your children and their children will never be able to spend. But I cannot even imagine when I die those I leave behind will remain in poverty and will not afford cable I asked before don't you have an assistance for folks. 2601:46:C700:4EC0:88D1:712E:907B:97F4 (talk) 10:36, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
