Hmm

I don't doubt what you've read Phillip but I do doubt a debt ridden company holding out whilst Valentine sorts his act out.

From all i've been hearing basically i agree with most of the article Phillip has reposted. It seems there has been some trouble with Valentine, but it's a very good deal and at an advanced stage - unless things got incredibly late and looked like they had totally fallen through i expect EMTV to stick with it. One things for sure, while i like Disney, i am 200% confident they will not be the ones to purchase the Muppets from EMTV.

Jamie,

I agree. Given EM.TV's history this deal isn't done until signed on the dotted line with a cash transaction taking place. EM.TV wants the most money possible, and other things are secondary. Most all signs are pointing to Valentine though.

So waht exactly is Valentine getting? I mean in the article it said people are afraid to buy it cuz it all broken up. Are they just getting a name?

consider this a dumb question, but couldn't someone just buy all of the henson company instead of just buying half of the company?...i mean emtv sounds like they could use the money and all, and besides what is emtv going ot do with half of the henson company they own anyways?

There doesn't seem to be a company interested AND wealthy enough to pay for the entire company at the price EMTV wants for it. Buying a part share is a way for EMTV to get most of the money they owe, and also bringing another company on board to run things at Henson and hopefully turn a decent profit for both parties.
