If NBC and 7 part ways . . .

I suppose Ansin could move Leno to 56 as a simulcast of news at 10
would not make much sense.
The market has accepted WFXT as a legit news player in the last decade
and that is another problem for 7.
Another possible option. Could Murdoch buy 7 and make that FOX and
then flip 25 to MY? He owns 5 and 9 in NYC and 32 and 50 in Chicago.
Ansin would have to unload 56 to somebody (NBCU?) and CW could wind up
on 50.
Of course having Murdoch as a bidder for 7 might force NBCU to pay the
piper and buy 7. Ansin has some nice cards to play even in this
economic climate.
