42. before you get too excited
Comcast has over 900 million Class A Common shares issued and another 9.4 million Class B. The Class B shares, which are "supervoting" shares, are controlled entirely by the Roberts family. Buffett has 10 million Class A shares, which is around 1 percent of the Class A and an even smaller percentage of the voting shares. So its not like he's about to get control of Comcast. I haven't checked, but I'd guess that the numbers for Soros' investment in TW are equally insignficant in terms of control.
