I thought Steyn would be a slam-dunk on TV where ever he went. Can you or anyone else tell me how Steyn and Levin got cross-wise?
Just did a google search and found a Steyn Online called “The Verdict” which provides a link to a summary of the trial between Steyn and CRTV.
Basically, CRTV sued Mark (who counter-sued) over breach of contract. CRTV sued Mark for failure to produce a contracted show and Mark countered that CRTV failed to provide the studio they promised Mark to produce the show. Steyn won approximate $3 million in damages from CRTV.
As Mark put it, paraphrasing: People asked me, ‘Why didn’t you just walk away?’ CRTV sued me. I couldn’t walk away. So I defended myself.
When I first read about Steyn’s TV difficulties, I though he and Levin were on the outs. Now I learn that Levin simply had another show on the same network that was enlisted Steyn. It’s eye-opening reading!
