At Current, television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don't have environmental cases against us, we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

If you're a baseball fan and you don't know what BP is, you're working in a mine without one of those helmets with the lights on it.
