No person- or entity-level identity check is on record for this company. A name match is not one.
The inclusion bar: two or more independent sourced evidence families. This profile is reachable but not in the ranked index. It is a statement about how much evidence we hold, and about nothing else.
We have not established fit. That is not a soft no and not a soft yes — it is unknown, and it is never counted as a qualified prospect.
No standout signal or flag yet.
No single number decides. Layers can disagree — that's the point. New to this? →
i would approach cbs and see what they had to say first why not you know you never know they may throw buy your company why not
the cbs application they feel since it's part of the contract you've already signed there's no new revenue opportunity there
fight up say we're better here's why our product's better and we kick their butt
if your product right now is twice as good as theirs which it sounds like you should figure out a way to make it 10 times better
there is some legal issues here perhaps um that maybe they are using their big legal stick to you know maybe threaten you a little bit
you are in a fight with a giant who is incompetent most of these big companies can be incompetent when compared to the the speed and execution of a small startup like yourselves
they didn't ask the schools for permission necessarily they kind of just released them uh on their behalf
but they have finally come out with their product it is really bad doesn't even have live scores that work the reviews are all one star
we have this competitor a small company called cbs uh that that happens to um to own uh about 90 of the web rights for uh for our clients the people that we work with
CBS today announced they're doing the same thing so the unbundling is all hitting at one time
Yahoo ESPN CBS yeah I mean these are the biggest names um and in fact it's it's a huge business for Yahoo I think they this is one of their I mean of the things everything seems to be falling apart over there this is one of the things that's done very well Sports has CED them
in 2009 when we went out to the market uh and we were competing against Yahoo ESPN CBS really entrenched established operators um lots of people have tried to compete with them but fantasy's very sticky very entrenched operators
CBS has acquired Clicker, a TV guide for programming online, for somewhere between $50 to $100 million. Woo-hoo!
And in the end, the prize she got is not worth having. Like, how would you like to run CBS News such as it is? No, thanks. No, for real. That's torture. They couldn't pay you enough.
CBS did not go up and down because, you know, one person owned it versus another. Nobody knows who the CEO of TikTok is. TikTok is either good or not good. And so I would just keep in mind that this is something, it's like the party circuit babble. Like you go there and you talk about it like, oh my God, it's so bad, it's so good. And you miss the basic fact that nothing about the ownership changes the human incentive to use a good product and to disqualify a s*** product.
