And you would rather have the socialists spewing their dreck rather than the moral voice of Christianity? (Valley girl voice) Hello-oh...

No, KOCE offered more ($28 million) than Daystar ($25.1 million). No. I hope neither of you is involved in finance. The foundation offered $8 million cash plus $24 million over 30 years. The net present value, doing a little quick math in my head, would be about $16-20 million. Daystar offered $25.1 million in cash. So their offer would be worth about $5 to 9 million or so more than the foundation offer.
I'll put it in simple terms. If I offered to give you $1.00 now, and someone else offered to give you $2.00 in 30 years, which offer would you accept.
That being said, I'm not sure I'd call a lot of what Daystar puts on 'Christian programming'.

Oh. I thought this was basically about how to keep the station out of the hands of Christians with legal gymnastics on what constitutes "cash".
To: PAR35
I agree with each of your points. (including the typical Daystar programming) Good post.

The argument now has to be which offer does Coast Community Collage favor the KOCE offer of $28 million, with $8 million down and payments over 30 years; or the $25.1 cash offer. The cash offer is worth far more than the installment plan.
In that case, the Christian broadcaster, Daystar, wins -- hands down.

There is a difference of $3 million, overall. But upfront, a difference of $17 million. Conservatively invested the $3 million difference would be matched in 2 years. Over 30 years of investment the college could have $45 million more by taking Daystars offer. And thats not taking compounding into acount.
Financially the original Daystar offer was much, much better. The second one was a definite no brainer. And to avoid either one was an obvious case of bias.

I totally agree. Sometimes I wonder if we chose the wrong side to fight for in WW2.

I resent your comment about my head. It's my only body part that I bother to wash :-)

I'm an atheist and I agree with streetpreacher...
balrog666 is a loser name for someone who's only purpose here on FR is to defame the religious people.
Of course, when you really look at it, the screen name is a pathetic attempt at a harrowing display of blasphemy by a guy who thinks equating himself as some big bad hobgoblin is too scary for anyone to challenge... just a pathetic anti-Christian and wannabe satanist...
Enough already balrog666, you are too incompetent and ignorant to be a Satanist...
To: Pharmboy
Usually I'd be rooting for the PBS affiliate to lose this sort of contest.
The sad thing is that KOCE is the PBS affiliate in the LA/SoCal area
that actually isn't totally sold out to the left.
It's just too bad the judge can't give DayStar the license now held by
the total-leftist PBS affiliate, KCET in Los Angeles proper.

What is the expected interest rate over that time, and the expected value of investing the money?If the interest rates is 3/4% per year, or better, the $25.1 million is the higher bid.
It's reasonable to assume that interest rates will be more than 3/4% per year, therefore the single cash bid of $25.1 M would be the higher bid. Everyone involved knows that, but many don't want to admit it, thats why this has become such a problem.
