Given the fact this happened at the time when the NFL signed a deal with Fox & luring former big 3 stations to Fox and hence an all news output.

Meanwhile, not long after the CBS-QVC deal was announced, there was fierce speculation that Disney might want to step in and buy CBS instead. It didn’t—but of course, it *was* interested in the network TV business. In 1995, it announced plans to buy ABC parent Capital Cities.

If Diller had ended up running CBS, there’s a good chance Leslie Moonves wouldn’t have ended up at CBS in 1995. And honestly, not sure Viacom would’ve ended up buying CBS, either.

Kids, for a brief moment in July 1994, it looked like CBS and QVC were going to merge, with Barry Diller (who helped launch Fox in the 80s) taking over as head of CBS.

But then came a plot twist: Comcast decided it wanted QVC. With the help of another cable giant, it got it.

CBS Inc. and QVC Network Inc. confirmed yesterday that they were close to fashioning a merger that would bring together the network of Walter Cronkite and "Murphy Brown" and the company that put round-the-clock shopping into the nation's living rooms.
CBS's controlling shareholder and chairman, billionaire investor Laurence A. Tisch, declared that he was committed to completing a cash-and-stock deal with QVC that would be valued at $7.5 billion.
CBS "will not be shopped" to other bidders, Tisch said, in an unwitting pun on his intended partner. Many Wall Street analysts, however, predicted that other suitors for CBS would emerge.
The merged CBS-QVC would be run by Barry Diller, currently QVC's chief executive and a man widely considered one of the shrewdest creative minds in television history.

COMCAST'S BID TO BUY QVC DERAILS MERGER WITH CBS
CABLE FIRM MAKES SURPRISE $2.2 BILLION
OFFER

July 12, 1994
More than 31 years ago

By Paul Farhi
CBS Inc. last night said it has dropped its plan to merge with cable shopping network
QVC Inc. after a second cable company, Comcast Corp., made a surprise $2.2 billion bid for QVC.
Comcast's offer came on the eve of votes by the boards of QVC and CBS that would have likely approved their merger. But Comcast's offer of cash and stock valued at $44 per share was deemed more attractive than the complex package that CBS was offering QVC shareholders.

I would be curious if Southwest wants to build a new operating base as does Frontier & Breeze despite being closer to downtown. Phase 2 will demolish the old T1 for 11 more gates by 2028. That being said beyond as a first alternative to LAX, Ontario might be the second alternative for expansion.

Well Frontier is going all in to replace Spirit but I do want JetBlue to launch Florida flights again to San Diego with Mint of course. Maui, Puerto Vallarta, Santa Rosa & Seattle plus seasonal ones like Bozeman, Eugene, Omaha & Spokane are filling that gap for the next several months for Southwest.

Mine here, 70% of the cable lines in San Diego is Cox, Charter stretches on the western shores up in Carlsbad to Kearny Mesa plus Coronado Island with a famous hotel managed by Hilton. The only small gaps left post merger is Giggle Fiber in Monrovia & Xfinity in Santa Maria according to Google Maps.
