There are several potential buyers for the Boston Globe, according to reports. Could such a thing ever happen to The Courant?

Actually, I kind of doubt it.

For one thing, the Courant is now so inextricably entwined with Fox 61, that any potential buyer would probably have to buy both. Secondly, the Courant is now so dependent on Chicago for tech support, computer and content management systems, purchasing and payroll, that it would be nearly impossible to run it independently.
