Go Daystar!

[writer33]

There goes those wacky Christians, ramming it down our throats again!

:) Sarcasm intended for satirical value.

Texas-based Daystar offered $25.1 million, but in cash. One day after the deadline for bids, it raised its offer to $40 million.

A day late and a dollar short - eff 'em.

So does the KOCE argument amount to nothing more than "the law can be ignored, aka violated, as long as it's done in the public interest"?

[brivette]

Well put. And I love your tagline.

Thank you and I love that darn tagline too.

Question: How much does a small TV station cost? Could either Daystar or the foundation build a new station for the price of the one they're fighting over?

[Pharmboy]

It's the license that costs the moolah...and is hard to get.

So does the KOCE argument amount to nothing more than "the law can be ignored, aka violated, as long as it's done in the public interest"?

No, KOCE offered more ($28 million) than Daystar ($25.1 million). Daystar upped their offer to $40 million a day after the deadline ended. As balrog666 said "A day late and a dollar short".

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.

[EGPWS]

For more than 30 years, public television station KOCE has dedicated coverage to Orange County in a media market otherwise dominated by the news and glitz of nearby Los Angeles.

Paid for by all tax payers whether they want to pay or not.

Now some are finally p!ssed because of the intrusion?

[RightWingAtheist]

Coincidentally, Daystar was also the name of the production company responsible for the original Outer Limits TV series.

KOCE, meet KELO

that was a prayer....

One of my favorite shows from the sixties...

[writer33]

I was wondering how long it was going to be before you RWA's reared your ugly head on the thread.

:) HA!

[streetpreacher]

The suit and subsequent victory had nothing to do with the $40 million amount but the $25 million amount which was still a larger offer than that of the "public" broadcaster, being cash.

That said, your deep-seated hatred for Christianity displayed by your acidic vitriol and loser screen name speaks louder than your posts. You have issues.

[writer33]

Cash is King, or should be.

[PAR35]

It's the frequency they are fighting over, not the physical assets.
