Selling the Yankees now would be smart

May 28, 2012 By Steven Greer

The Daily News recently reported that rumors are flying within the ranks of Major League Baseball offices that the Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner is shopping around the Yankees for sale. The distressed LA Dodgers were recently sold for nearly $3 Billion.  The article listed a few reasons why this would be a good business decision, but did not mention the most important reason why the valuation for the Yankees might be at its peak right now.

According to Forbes, The majority of the revenue for the Yankees parent company, Yankee Global Entertainment, LLC, is derived from Cable TV deals and their cable TV YES Network. In 2011, YES Network earned $400 Million in revenue, compared to $325 Million from ticket sales at the stadium. Continue reading

PEP offices still without phone lines, but why?

Update: November 13, 2012

As a result of BP.TV’s story, the BPCA posted an update stating that a backup phone has been made available at (212) 417-3114

November 9, 2012 By Steven E. Greer

Almost two weeks after Hurricane Sandy, the park enforcement (PEP) office on West Thames is still unable to accept incoming calls at (212) 417-3100 or 3114. Therefore, residents can make no requests for services. Since BPC relies on the PEP for most policing functions, unlike the rest of the city, this would be like the NYPD having no 911 service.
