In reading about this for a future Reds agreement, I've seen some folks talking saying that the cable bonanza is nearing its end. I don't know if that is correct or not, but I could see locking in the revenue now. That's $280M a year on average (that's right, isn't it, all the zeroes on the calculator are blurring
