I heard that the Koreans want at least $750 million from ABC for
the rights to the 1988 Olympics, which supposedly means ABC would
have to broadcast Olympics coverage around the clock just to
break even.  Therefore, we may have just seen our last "free"
Olympics (ie, on to cable).  (Note this doesn't affect the winter
games in Calgary -- though ABC's stock dropped several points last
winter when it was announced they had broadcasting rights 
those games as well).
