xfinity wasnât an acquisition, it was just comcast rebranding trying to separate itself from the stank of comcast. It did occur during a time of acquisitions of other cable networks, but thatâs been true of comcast for 15ish years.

Ahhh, so it couldâve been a local acquisition changing their names on ads before Comcast finished the job, or maybe vice-versa somehow. Interesting.
