[QuadList] Non Compete clauses (was Changes in Post over the years)

[Ted Langdell]

"Non-Compete" clauses are pretty common in contracts. They provide for  
a period of time in which the employee or the seller can't compete in  
the same market or work for another network.

The Conan O'Brien settlement with NBC may have such a clause. Major  
radio station "talent" contracts often contain these clauses, and have  
kept well known teams off the air for a while.

Broadcast stations, post facilities, are often sold with "non-competes."
