There you have it. Just one week ago, I had my picture taken with Dylan Ratigan in the background. Apparently, ABC was so impressed with Dylan being seen in the same picture as me, that they offered him a huge contract. He's leaving CNBC. In fact, news says he left Friday.

An executive from a network that has interest in Mr. Ratigan said the reason no other deal was in place with ABC or anyone else was that his CNBC contract — though it ends March 31 — contains a clause that will prevent Mr. Ratigan from working elsewhere for some period of time. The executive requested anonymity so as not to tip the network’s hand in negotiations.
Mr. Ratigan would not comment on whether such a clause existed, but he said, “You may next see me in six months, or it may be three months.”
”
sheesh
Sounds like a non-compete clause... probably 6 months.Quote:

So he could very well come out with a shiny new deal with ABC next week. What could be a bigger problem -- and why they couldn't say anything -- is tortious interference. ABC could not pursue him while he was under contract with CNBC, but if Ratigan went after ABC - that would be possible. However, nothing could be signed and/or announced until after March 31st.
The non-compete claim in the article is wrong. Read here:

Of course he's being facetious. ABC isn't impressed with Brandon anymore than Microsoft is impressed with me.Quote:

Just kidding, sort of. :)
Someone actually thought I was serious? That's Hysterical! Someone is worried about my tie knot? That's scary!Quote:
