another bid
Me thinks there is already another bid sitting in the wings that the close friends know about but why tell the lowly shareholders.

I can't imagine a North American operator allowing a foreign operator into the market without a fight, at the very least you would force them to pay more for the asset!

I agree - the Euro's have deep pockets and if they enter the North American market the comps. would be in for a price war. Always IMHO

I wonder if UPN themselves are buying up the shares?
I am trying to imagine how this may benefit them!

If they thought another bid was coming...
1-they could sell accumulated shares at a profit
2-they have more shares to vote infavor of the deal (for themselves or a bid
19 to 21 is cheap fot them.
