Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interest	12. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest A noncontrolling interest holds a 35% residual interest in the Travel Channel. The noncontrolling interest has the right to require us to repurchase their interest and we have an option to acquire their interest. The noncontrolling interest will receive the fair value for their interest at the time either option is exercised. The put option on the noncontrolling interest in the Travel Channel becomes exercisable in August of 2014. The call option becomes exercisable in 2015. Noncontrolling Interest The Food Network is operated and organized under the terms of a general partnership (the “Partnership”). SNI and a noncontrolling owner hold interests in the Partnership. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Partnership agreement was extended and specifies a dissolution date of December 31, 2014. If the term of the Partnership is not extended prior to that date, the agreement permits the Company, as the holder of approximately 80% of the applicable votes, to reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business. There are also other options for continuing the business of the Partnership, which the Company is considering. If for some reason the Partnership is not continued, it will be required to limit its activities to winding up, settling debts, liquidating assets and distributing proceeds to the partners in proportion to their partnership interests.
