William, you worked at ABC; imagine the following scenario. At ABC, you stop making original content, but start only buying shows like ER. However, none of the shows you buy are exclusive, other people are buying them too, just airing them at different times. No longer can you sell commercials. Instead you can put logos in the lower left corner of the screen. Now change the medium so that people are even more impatient for content, and aren't willing to sit for the same dumb sitcom jokes over and over.

Think of the money you could make. ABC's market cap would probably be $3-6B if it were it's own company. What do you think it be worth under my restrictions?
