 | | It seems Disney's desire for any potential profits derived from the Internet overrides holding a grudge against cable telecommunications company Comcast: Less than three months after a failed takeover bid by Comcast, the companies have agreed to offer news and children's entertainment programming from Disney through Comcast's high-speed Internet service. |
 | | When Comcast originally attempted to buy Disney in February, it pointed to its desire for content as one of the primary reasons behind the acquisition move. |
 | | Before Disney's board of directors rejected Comcast's unsolicited acquisition bid, Brian Roberts, Comcast president and chief executive officer, said in a speech that he saw Disney's brands, particularly its ESPN sports network, as ripe for extensive marketing and cross-promotion with existing Comcast networks and other properties. |
