The cable giant, which will become one of the larger media players if it closes its purchase of NBC Universal, delivered fourth-quarter earnings of 33 cents a share, up from 14 cents a year ago. That sum includes a tax benefit of 4 cents a share. Wall Street was expecting earnings of 27 cents a share.
