Time Warner Buying Cablevision?

[Geoffrey 876]

Jerry Barmash at Tuned In NYC reports there's a 95% chance that Cablevision will be sold to Time Warner in February: http://tunedinnyc.com/2013/12/10/cablevision-likely-selling-to-time-warner-in-february/

 

I wonder if they would rebrand the News 12s as Time Warner Cable News...

That's a surprise considering that there are also rumors that Time Warner Cable is up for sale as well.

 

If that is the case, why would TWC be in a buying mood?

Maybe its' Time Warner itself, not Time Warner Cable, as they were spun off in 2009 and now merely license the name.

Why would Time Warner buy 95% stake in Cablevision, and spun off its namesake cable company four years ago? To me that don't make any sense.

They might feel that purchasing Cablevision will result in a return on investment in the form of an improved Time Warner Cable valuation.

 

Edit: quoted the wrong post.
