While on one hand, TV is setting a very high ransom for licensing its likeness, on the other hand they appear to be greedily ready to sell their likeness. Therefore, maybe there will be more opening u p in the future, if the SF and Emeryville have proved to be worthwhile investments. Maybe it will be the next "Planet Hollywood" (well, lets hope not).
