Wave Unfair Competition Complaint Baseless, Comcast Says

Wave's carriage and streaming complaint against NBCUniversal and three Comcast regional sports networks (see 1712190041) is mystifying, NBCU said Tuesday. It said Wave's sale to RCN (see 1705220058) is expected to close within a month, and NBCU is offering an extension until then, while separately offering marketplace terms to RCN for continued carriage. It said it "has engaged with them fairly, on the same terms as other distributors. [Wave's] purported claim is without merit.”
