1: I'd be fine with Village Roadshow having the Australian rights. At least, until Universal grabs them up a few years afterwards.
2: In a repeat of Walt Sr.'s acquisition of Fox, I'd like for Comcast to buy MCA. Although, Microsoft and Sony are tied for a close second pick.
3: I'd like for Fox Records to pick up the license. Maybe we can see a special "Backstreet Boys in Concert" episode of Disney Night in America should it come to fruition?
4: Not bad.
