Emerging implications of the sale of The Hundred
After the high-octane activity around the sale of equity shares in The Hundred, discussed in this column two weeks ago, there was reason to suppose that the dust might be allowed to settle. However, the eight franchise hosts and the buying parties now have eight weeks in which to negotiate the finer details of their partnerships. This means that the dust cannot settle yet on those agreements. Nor, it seems, will it be allowed to settle just yet by either the unsuccessful bidders or by those who continue to question the wisdom of the sales.
