Leo needs more than creative control with TWiT, which is ultimately why I don't see him selling until he's ready to finally release the reigns to tightly. That said, the options posed in this content dream team would make any company successful, if managed and handled correctly. If it's not managed correctly, it's just another AOL story.

He already handed over CEO control to someone else I believe, so I imagine given total editorial control he would sell for $50 million or so.
Off topic, I would like to see he and Calacanis make up (as mentioned in the article). TWiT is a far better show with him.

Agree.
I'm not a big fan of Calacanis but he did provide the most interesting arguments (and color) when he was a regular (even when he was far off the mark). Especially when Dvorak was around too.
Much better than the current ensemble of "me toos".
PS. I also thought it was cool of him to write:
"I’d throw in my little ThisWeekIn.com copy-cat network to make up with Leo to get the job done. I’ve been looking to repair that burned bridge for a while."
