90. Someone is going to buy it. I don't know who. I don't know what there programming will be.

It may be the next shopping network; it all depends on who buys it. At some point, something will come along to fill the market need vacated by MSNBC ealier in the year. Maybe it will be a rebranded MSNBC, itself; maybe not.

If Musk buys "XBC," or whatever the name will be, it will be one of a thousand right wing media outlets. It will be run poorly. It will die in the sea of competition.
