But having HBK complain about building the Elimination Chamber was ass backwards.

The deal which saw ESPN bid $100 million more than Fox to secure the BCS rights had attendees questioning what broadcasters had to do to be able to compete for future rights. Cable networks like ESPN have an advantage thanks to their dual revenue streams from advertising and affiliate sales. ESPN which gets about $4 per subscriber per month from cable and satellite operators pulls in more from affiliate revenue than other national cable networks giving it another advantage. The consensus seemed to be that broadcasters will have to change their strategy. “There’s this whole issue of retransmission consent” said Fox Sports Networks President Bob Thompson. “That can become their second revenue stream.

In 2007 LBGO entered into a 30-year prepaid gas supply arrangement with Merrill Lynch Commodities Inc. (MLCI) as the gas supplier. MLCI is an affiliate of Merrill Lynch the parent company which is guaranteeing the performance of MLCI under the gas supply agreement. The prepaid gas supply meets 80%-90% of LBGO’s gas requirements at a fixed discounted price relative to the area’s local gas market price. This contract has proven beneficial for LBGO in two ways: 1) it ensures below market priced natural gas supply for the term of the prepay agreement and 2) generates fuel cost savings that are being reinvested into the system for needed pipeline replacements thereby reducing debt financing of such capital projects. With conservative growth in gas sales manageable capital expenditures and no planned base rate increases LBGO expects to maintain over 10 times (x) coverage of senior lien debt service and more than 5. 0x coverage of total debt service (senior and subordinate)through 2012.
