"Though Comcast is still months away from announcing the organizational structure for its planned NBC acquisition, some clues about how the merged company will look are starting to seep out," John Ourand writes, adding, "NBC Universal Sports and Olympics Chairman Dick Ebersol was spotted in Orlando on Wednesday taking a tour of Golf Channel’s operations, according to several sources. Ebersol flew in and out of the Golf Channel’s headquarters the same day, a trip that increased speculation that Comcast will pick the longtime media executive to oversee the merged company’s sports channels, including Versus, Golf Channel and Universal Sports, as well as NBC Sports."
