"Would Jack Welch have sold NBC Universal to Comcast?" Great question. And it was asked by MediaPost's David Goetzl to former NBC chief Randy Falco, who worked under Jack Welch's helm at GE.

Falco didn't exactly answer the question, but here's what he had to say:

"He always told me that NBC was a great source of pride for him and for GE.

"It was a lot smaller than any of the other GE businesses, but it got a lot more attention than any other NBC businesses.

"I think, If it was in the best interest of the shareholders, he would have sold it.

"I'll leave it at that."
