Message: [QUOTE="lakebum431, post: 4672202, member: 24954"] The way these transactions work is that a "deal model" was presented to the buyers which was used to help determine the price they were willing to pay. This is essentially a multi-year P&L. That model has lots of assumptions built in. You can be sure that there is an assumption there on 1) the price that they will be able to negotiate with Dish and 2) the timeline on when the revenue from Dish will return. It could go either way as far as a lower/higher price or a quicker/longer return, but I tend to think that the buyers would prefer to have the distribution back before the transaction date. The buyers will almost certainly get veto rights on any new material transactions prior to close so it doesn't really matter what Tegna wants anymore. [/QUOTE]
