GrindTV is also owned by our parent company. They are the official action sports channel of Yahoo Sports. Newschoolers is the official skiing content supplier for GrindTV. So it goes up the food chain like that.

We're trying out publicizing that a bit. Its pretty cool stuff actually - we're bringing the cool side of skiing to an entirely new audience. More widespread - but we keep it core with NS so they don't see a fake side of it.

NS is the real deal, so the masses get to see the real deal.

Chug life is a big hit on there. :)

As long as we aren't in association with Ryan Sheckler's blog, I'm ok.

So does that mean:
NS < Sportnet < GrindTV < Yahoo Sports < Yahoo Inc.

So if I am a Yahoo stock holder then somehow I own just a little bit of NS?

Yahoo does not own Sportnet or Grind, they just have a content sharing partnership.

Its actually been almost two and a half years if you can believe it...

So don't fret there's zero difference coming than the way things have been since 2007.
