What's Emmis got to sell?

Here's your shopping list if you want to get in on the bidding for TV stations at Emmis Communications. The company says it has about a billion bucks invested in its TV group, with a remaining tax basis of about 750 million. The TV group had 103,716,000 of broadcast cash flow for the most recent fiscal year. Let the bidding begin!

TVBR observation: We can say with near certainty that the entire Emmis TV group will not end up with a single new owner. That's because of the situation in Honolulu, where it has a temporary waiver to own both the CBS and Fox affiliates. So look for those to end up in separate hands.
