Stephen, now that your contract with CBS is officially over, we wanted to personally send you this letter about why we think you should partner with the MeidasTouch Network.

Thats exactly the kind of host we want at MeidasTouch.

Our network now averages billions of views. We outperform the major networks in digital views. And we have no FCC approvals to chase, no settlement checks to cut to Donald Trump. We are fueled by the Meidas Mighty, and they are extraordinary. They, too, are a joy machine.
The joy machine doesnt have to stop. It just needs a new address.

It could be a paid service or a paid service with sponsorship similar to public TV keeping ads out. I think a combination of the two, even 3 if a way to possibly add a print version, maybe a monthly magazine, with all under one umbrella, that's the way to go. The far right is already there with all 3 available. We need to play ketchup
