Lost in all the HIAC complaints…
By Scott Keith on 27 October 2014
…what happened to Dixie Carter's announcement that was supposed to come within 10 days of about two weeks ago? There was supposed a TV deal announced on Friday if I'm not mistaken and that sure as shit didn't happen. Meltzer was actually talking about it this morning, and apparently the Toby Keith deal was pretty close to happening for a decent chunk of money last year (you know, back when they were stringently denying that the company was for sale and all) but Toby backed out because Bob Carter insisted on Dixie staying on TV as a figurehead and retaining "some kind of job" with the company. Also, something something red solo cup. Did I do that country music reference right? I'm from Saskatchewan and still don't listen to that shit, but I think he was the guy. Anyway, I bet they're wishing they would have taken that deal now.
