      Murdoch Drops Newsday Bid

      Rupert Murdoch has dropped his $580 million bid for Newsday . Cable operator Cablevision has offered $650 million for the Long Island daily, and Murdoch’s News Corp. said a higher bid would be “uneconomical.” The media tycoon’s dropout was unexpected, Reuters says, considering Murdoch recently told investors a deal was nearly done. A $580 million bid from Mortimer Zuckerman, owner of the rival Daily News , remains on the table. More »

      Daily News Owner Makes Newsday Bid

      Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman has matched Rupert Murdoch's bid for Newsday , the New York Times reports—but didn't go a penny over the $580 million the New York Post owner offered. Instead Zuckerman claimed his bid is the better one because, unlike Murdoch's, it doesn't run the risk of running into an FCC tripwire. More »

      Dolan Deal for Cablevision Is on the Rocks

ClearBridge Advisors, which owns 13.6% of shares, threatened to vote against the $36.26 a share offer next week, joining other dissenting institutional investors. More »

      Yesterday's $11.6 million sex harassment judgment against the New York Knicks was not only mortifying for the team, it could undermine the Dolan family's plan to privatize Cablevision, the media giant that owns it, the Wall Street Journal reports.
