Snyder buy's Dick Clark Productions


WHALEN

Recommended Posts

Music to Redskins' ears: It didn't get much press, but RedZone Capital, the private equity firm of Washington Redskins' owner Dan Snyder, this week completed the purchase of Dick Clark Production for $175 million. The deal gives RedZone, and, thus, Snyder, the rights to "American Bandstand," "The Golden Globes," "The American Music Awards" and "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," among other properties. Snyder plans to blend the shows into entertainment concepts at properties which include the Johnny Rockets restaurant chain, which he owns, and at the Six Flags theme parks, of which he owns 40 percent and is chairman. No word yet as to whether the former Clark properties will be used to enhance the experience at FedEx Field. Or whether, if Snyder's football team continues to sputter in 2007, game footage will be incorporated into a new series of blooper shows, a genre that Clark helped to popularize.

Well it has been a week this is old news but, on the plus side Danny has not raised ticket prices yet (we are going to pay for this purchase)

Darn right we are! Soon we'll be paying for the 'privilege' of being able to eyeball artifacts from DCP on display in the over-priced restaurants at FedEx.

Although I support the idea that we need to keep redundant threads down to a minimum, its not a capital crime. Looks to me like this guy has never violated a rule since he joined. He doesn't deserve 'No New Threads' for one minor mistake, and some of you guys need to lighten up.

Its one thing when someone does something repetitively, or doesn't seem to care. This guy made a minor boo-boo. Big deal.
