[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1451415, member: 746137"] The question is whether the Cubs are taking their money in the form of an up-front sale of their TV rights to the new network (which is what the Dodgers did), or if they're taking an equity stake in the new network and collecting their money that way, through the cable rights fees and ad revenue itself. The former provides stability and long-term cost certainty. The latter potentially has higher upside, but also more risk and will take longer to get the revenues flowing as there will definitely be a standoff between the cable companies and the new network.
