Comcast, which last week unveiled a £22bn offer for Sky, has been labelled the “worst company in America” for two years running over shoddy customer service and pricing. Comcast was named “America’s most-hated company” in a respected customer satisfaction survey last year. A multi-year regulatory wrangle saw the Federal Communications Commission order Comcast to relocate Bloomberg to the “neighbourhood” of news channels. “Sky News is an invaluable part of the UK news landscape,” Comcast said, when it announced its proposed bid for Sky last week. Comcast has said it does not foresee any media plurality or regulatory issues in taking over Sky.
