"Stephen Keener, President and C.E.O., Little League, Inc., held a news conference on Jan. 4, 2007; the subject being the new TV eight(8) year extension agreement.
In answer to a reporter's question he stated the new TV eight(8)year extension agreement revenue to Little League, Inc., was worth $30.1 million in total rights fees. [3.76 million/year] He stated...this new agreement superseded a six(6) year agreement that was worth $8.4 million. [$1.4 million/year] That news conference was/is available on-line. He did say how some of the additional revenue was going back to local leagues via free coaches clinics; eighty(80) free background checks via Choice-Point; and a $2.00 reduction in Charter Fee; from $18.00 to $16.00. " ////////////////////////////// WOW....lota dough! and thats just the TV--not including the sponsers!
