$1.5 billion? That is really steep. They just literally (FOX) purchased all of Media General's debt. I bet the folks in Tampa would love to have no debt when they finish the sale with LIN

Nah. Just a typical April's Fools Day at TVNT.

(KRON for $1.5B) = 1.71 x (8 ABC Stations for $875M)

 

Sinclair totally made the better deal today.
