>>NEW YORK, Oct 11 <Picture: (Reuters)> - The New York Yankees' principal owner George Steinbrenner has been contacting his partners about possibly selling the baseball team to Cablevision, the cable television operator, Newsday reported Sunday.
Steinbrenner, who bought the team with his partners for about $10 million in 1973, was seeking as much as $750 million to $800 million for the Yankees, Newsday said, citing an unidentified Steinbrenner partner.
That would far exceed the record sale price for a baseball team of $311 million paid by Rupert Murdoch for the Los AngelesDodgers. <<

Cablevision Buys
Loews Theaters for $91.7M
By ERICA GARCIA
Special to The News
<Picture>ablevision picked up one of the hottest tickets in the movie business yesterday.
Capping a three-month courtship, the entertainment giant acquired a 31-theater package for $91.7 million.
Government regulators had insisted the theaters be sold as part of an anti-trust settlement in the merger of Loews, a division of Sony, with Cineplex Odeon.
The deal comes just two weeks after Cablevision's first moviehouse acquisition — of Clearview Cinema Group's 45 New York-area theaters for $160 million.
