I think one thing that could happen within the next 18 months is the sale of the Chicago Cubs. And there is a person named Mark Cuban who would be more than happy to take it off the Tribune Company's hands for maybe US$1 billion....
That's the one unit in this company family that IS making money. Although I would agree that selling off the Cubs would be the best thing to happen to the Cubs, it doesn't make any sense for them to sell off the one unit that's actually making money for them.
