There was a time when attaching Martha Stewart's name to household goods had them flying off the shelves. Not anymore. Her firm, MARTHA STEWART LIVING OMNIMEDIA (6, MSO), now faces the prospect of less friendly licensing deals and continued publishing losses. Add a quirky management structure and it's a recipe few cooks would want to clip and save.rnThe company got 21% of its $328 million of revenue last year from one source: a 1997 pact with troubled Kmart that makes minimum payments whether Martha's products sell well or not (lately they haven't). Annual payments will fall more than two-thirds to $20 million by 2009. In 2010 the Kmart deal couldrnend altogether. Others are likely to be less lucrative.rn"This is not the kind of environment where those deals are going to get done," says RBC Capital Markets analyst David Bank.
