Yea if they don't get Saban. If they get Saban that becomes the most watched channel in the Southwest.

Dont know how accurate these numbers are but it looks like 1% is pretty substantial if correct.




quote:

Last week the Associated Press referred to the LHN as the "$300 million Longhorn Network." That's wrong. If you're going to put a price tag on it, then a more accurate figure would be in the neighborhood of $1 billion, since that's roughly how much ESPN has apparently committed to the enterprise over the 20-year base term of the Agreement. The $300 million refers to what's called the "minimum annual guaranteed royalty" payments to UT and IMG (unless otherwise necessary, we'll refer to them collectively as UT). UT gets $10.98 million in the first year, with a 3% bump each year thereafter (the aggregate of those payments is actually a little less than $300 million). Here again, this is what you see if you're only looking at it from UT's perspective. The Agreement provides an annual budget estimate of $26 million, which comprises $15 million for production and $11 million for overhead. It also provides an estimated annual escalator for those two elements at 3% and 4% respectively. Annualize that over the base term, add it to the aggregate MAGR, and voila - three commas.

If they offer Saban his own cooking show on the LHN, I think that might put them over the top.

You sure it is not his own reality show where he can yell at the camera guys for not holding the camera at the right angle or getting his good side?

If nothing else, all of these threads with rumored contract terms will be fun to go back over when Saban stays at Alabama with "only" a 500K per year raise or something.
