The Weather Channel for sale

... and could fetch a cool $5 billion.

I thought I saw Danger Jim lurking outside the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, actually.

 

All of Landmark is for sale, not just the Weather Channel -- The Virginian-Pilot, Roanoke Times, Greensboro News & Record, Annapolis Capital, etc.

I read that story.

But because a) it appears TWC is being sold separately (with no assembly required) since Landmark is using a different advisory firm in its sale; and b) certain on-air, ahem, talent is a regular topic of discussion here among the felicidal set, I thought it deserved its own thread.

 

They selling the whole network in one piece, or can I put in an offer for Stephanie Abrams?

 

Could be a bidding war, there.

 

Felicide.

I've never heard it called that before.

 

I hear Cliff Clavin is interested.

Heck, they just spit back what www.weather.gov gives them.

 

Dibs on resident Weather Channel cougar Cheryl Lemke.

 

I'll take Alexandra Steele. She scares me in a real good way.

 

Was always partial to Christina Abernathy myself.

 

I'se love me some Jen Carfagno, though Kristina Abernathy certainly is welcome in my home as well.
