Discovery Communications has retained the services of D.C. consulting firm The Glover Park Group to lobby in regards to the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger.

Opponents of a planned merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable are flexing their K Street muscle in an attempt to quash the blockbuster deal.
The $45 billion proposal has drawn the ire of consumer rights groups, unions and companies in the cable and broadband industries since it was announced last February.
Now, as a decision from federal regulators draws closer, groups are ratcheting up their attacks with new hired guns.
The Stop Mega-Comcast Coalition registered with Glover Park Group in recent weeks to help it lobby the federal government. The coalition comprises an unlikely collection of interests, including Glenn Becks television station The Blaze, companies like Dish Network, watchdog groups such as Public Knowledge and Common Cause, and writers unions.
Savannah is “unsustainable,” IMHO, particularly since she descended into the non-serious Today Show.
Lester Holt has been doing as straight and honest job on the weekend news as can be expected. We would tune in to NBC Nightly News to watch him.
Strongly suspecting NBC is using the “hiatus” to poll test its candidates.

BTW: So....theoretically, GPG could be lobbying for and against the Comcast/TWC merger???
