Hey folks, Harry here. Today I've been getting heads ups all over the place that UNIVERSAL was going to be sold any day now. Now Edgar Bronfman Jr has been saying that the studio is not up for sale... but just about every trade paper in the business has been speculating on just about everyone being a possible purchaser. Will UNIVERSAL go from being Booze Owned to All-Natural Water Owned? Well... as all rumors about mergers and acquisitions go.... We'll see... Eventually UNIVERSAL will be owned by someone other than Seagrams... that's pretty much certain. Here's the latest sounds coming down the rail from Junior Mintz....
Junior Mintz here with the hot rumor that Seagrams will be selling Universal Studios lock, stock and theme parks to a French water company! I don't know if the company was Perrier or Evian, but my sources are "reliable". Word is the deal will be announced later this week, maybe as early as tomorrow. More on these damp doings as they develop.
Junior out
