Marketplace for Thursday, November 3, 2016

On today’s show we’re looking at a lot of big money: The Cubs won their first World Series in more than a century — who gets the cash prize? TV and radio stations are raking in cash from a wild and historic election season — where’s all that money coming from? Finally, oh yeah, the U.K. is leaving the EU — what’s left to decide before the Brexit officially begins? Plus, how low crop prices hurt farm towns, and what it’s like to run a multi-million dollar company with just one product. 

Chicago Cubs fans celebrate outside Wrigley Field after the Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in game seven of the 2016 World Series in Chicago, Illinois. The Cubs 8-7 victory landed them their first World Series title since 1908.
