(From Sports Business Daily)
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED (SI) is "EYEING A PARTNERSHIP" with COMCAST's OLN that would give the magazine A TV PLATFORM more than THREE YEARS after CNN/SI went off the air, according to two sources cited by
TIM ARANGO of THE NEW YORK POST.
Executives at TIME INC., SI's PARENT COMPANY, "have been holding INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS" about a deal, but talks between COMCAST and TIME "have not yet begun in earnest."
Arango notes the two corporations ALREADY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP, as OLN licenses the name "OUTDOOR LIFE" from TIME, which publishes a magazine under that title, and the organizations have worked together on PROGRAMMING.
Also, TIME WARNER and COMCAST are INVESTORS in THE METS' new REGIONAL SPORTS NETWORK (RSN) set to launch next year.
