Right, it would more likely be jettisoned by the company to a separate entity. You very likely don't want that.

I'll definitely have to make an offer for $5.25. Maybe, even I could sweeten the deal by adding an extra dollar. How does that sound?

For the amazingly low price of $649 per day (in 2016) as well! From the info I can find, they didn't even have air conditioning. I can't even begin to fathom paying that price to literally bake in your own private oven 3/4 of the year.What luxury!
Can't believe these weren't a hit.

Most of the content, yes. The channels they can find if they are a Hulu + Live TV customer, at least for now.
As a customer of the latter, I wouldn't miss most, if not all, of the channels that are being removed from Charter, especially if it meant a lower bill! (I know, I know, a WDW survey marker can dream....)

Correct me if wrong, but that means less carriage fees for TWDC and less as revenue for ads on those channels?
With the loss of Freeform that’s really going to cut into the long term profitability prospects of TLM and HM.

WDW needs to repurpose the star wars hotel into a Vegas style burlesque show.
At MGM Studios approx 30 years ago the park held a professional wrestling event with park guests in attendance right in front of the ticket booths. I unfortunately missed out on all the fun. Maybe WWE and the Mouse could have a relationship if the demand was there.
"Walt Disney Co. has held exploratory talks about selling its ABC network and TV stations to local broadcaster Nexstar Media Group Inc., according to people familiar with the discussions.
The talks are preliminary and haven’t involved a specific valuation, according to one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions aren’t public. Nexstar would only be interested at the right price.
A spokesperson for Nexstar declined to comment. Disney declined to comment."
