Cablevision planning offer to buy New York Daily News company for $1
|
Version 0 of 1. A copy of the New York Daily News can be picked up at nearly any newsstand in the city for $1.25, but the entire company could be sold for just $1, if its owner accepts an offer expected to come soon. Reuters reported that US cable company Cablevision is planning to make a $1 offer for the Daily News as early as this week. Last month, Mortimer Zuckerman, the paper’s owner, said he was considering selling the publication after years of waning readership and shrinking advertising revenue.

The company is controlled by the Dolan family and also owns Newsday.
