Should the controlling stake in NBC Universal be sold to Comcast Corp., the media giant would be better off versus its current ownership scenario under the umbrella of General Electric Co., according to respondents to the latest Business Pulse survey from Los Angeles Business from bizjournals.

The results of the question "Which is the better ownership scenario for NBC Universal?" broke down as follows:

The proposed deal with Comcast -- 35 percent
Neither -- 32 percent
Don't know -- 18 percent
The current situation with GE -- 13 percent

Comments left by respondents include:

"Interesting...if GE buys them, NBC will probably end up like GE's security division, disjointed and ineffective."

"FOX NEWS ENTERPRISES, BEST OF ALL....NBC-NOBODYCARES !!!!!"
