and tonight, we'd leak to introduce our new partners at comcast starting with brody brazil from comcast sports net. he's at the tank to give us all the details. hello, brody. >> hi, diane. it's a best of seven series. and everything is looking good for the san jose sharks. they look forward to tonight's game as a huge opportunity. and everything on paper would suggest they could and should advance to the second round here of the stanley cup playoffs. a lot of reasons why. they've won their last two games on the road in los angeles. the sharks are very healthy. and with that said, they have all the momentum. the players told me this morning it's all about having a killer instinct and ending this series tonight with a win. >> we'd like to start off fast but control your emotions. but play fast. play strong. play smart. hopefully get it off. >> you are never out of it. you are never completely comfortable. if you slide into that zone, that feel-good zone here on home ice, like we did in game two, you'll pay the price for it. so i keep saying, lesson learned here. lesson taught. it's going

>> guest: if you will allow me to go to a past transaction which was the more recent comcast/nbcu merger which we did approve january of this year. one of the things that sticks out to me that we did was make sure that in terms of their engagement with other companies on other online providers or other video, cable providers that the offerings that they have in terms of nbcu/comcast programming that at whatever rates, terms and conditions they offerit's coming from come -- if it's coming from comcast, nbc or vice versa, they would offer the same uniform rates as they do others. so that's, in principle, what i mean. it's a parity type standard from that perspective. so it's difficult for me to talk about upcoming transactions, but i will say one of the things that we made sure in that past transaction that the experience of other providers, of competitors so to speak is not harmed because of a transaction. >> host: this is c-span's "communicators" program. our guest this week fcc commissioner minion clyburn. -- mignon clyburn. she is a democrat. howard buskirk is the associate managing ed
