Much, much is made about how Fox 8 is under local Louisiana ownership. That is no more with Tom Benson selling majority control to Raycom Media.

So, what's he gonna do with the money?

Not sure if hookers and blow do it for the 90 year old man.

His press release mentions "further investment in New Orleans".

This is a stand alone question. Does Tom Benson even know that he IS?

Huh. I would think majority interest in Fox 8 costs more than Dixie Beer... but what do i Know. Maybe he will get something else with it.

Is there room in the Superdome/ Smoothie King Center / Champions Square complex to put the Dixie brewery? That would be pretty cool.

Sounds like his gold digging third wife is liquefying his assets and hiding them for when he croaks.
