A question for the legal types

I would think that if the network were an independent company and the 700 Club's contract was with that network, it would have to be assumed by anyone who bought it unless there's a deal to the contrary. As to the initial deal, it could raise antitrust concerns as a restraint of trade if anyone had such concerns anymore.

The initial deal could also be invalidated as an illegal restrictive covenant since the continuation of the 700 Club is contrary to public policy.

Note: The above is pulled out of my a** on a moment's notice and is for amusement purposes only.
