NFT: 'James Dolan exploring purchase of New York Daily News'

MSG and Cablevision boss James Dolan wants to buy the New York Daily News and has a team of bankers exploring the possibility, Page Six has exclusively learned.

A source tells us Dolan’s interest in the tabloid is a natural extension of Cablevision’s current ownership of Newsday. But Dolan and MSG have been locked in a 10-year feud with the News, which could put some of the paper’s editorial staff in a precarious position if he becomes the buyer.

The feud between Dolan and the News dates back to ’05, when the paper backed a plan by former Mayor Mike Bloomberg to build the West Side Stadium. Cablevision, with Dolan as CEO, opposed the move, as the new sports venue would have competed directly with MSG.

He thinks it might be fun to run a newspaper.

Dan Snyder was the first thing that popped into my head...

And Newsday has become really irrelevant. Maybe it still has a strong LI following, but it is irrelevant in NYC and on the interwebs.
I bet Newsday is within 100k of the circulation of the Daily News

Well, in my lifetime.
Ha remember when Alan Hahn used to be anti Dolan  
Mason : 3/3/2015 12:21 am : link
yeah, me too. Until he started working for the Man. Now he is a cheerleader.

If it puts the DN out of business, this might not be a terrible thing.

Now if only the Knicks could go out, too.
I used to work at the Daily News  
Hammer : 3/3/2015 2:00 am : link
and have a bunch of friends that still do.

I'll say a prayer for them because if Dolan buys the paper their jobs won't be worth shit.

Fucking asshole.
My point under Dolan's stewardship

Newsday has become irrelevant. To the Daily News employees, we've seen the future and it isn't pretty
James

Dolan is the worst.
Dont remember the last time

I paid for a newspaper
Under Dolan, Newsday went to a strict online paywall  
NoPeanutz : 3/3/2015 4:17 pm : link
And I remember seeing a report a few years back, after the paywall went up, with regard to online subscribers. The number was around 36. Not 36 thousand.

36 souls. And you know one was Jimmy. One was Papa Dolan. One was Isiah.

So make that 33.

I found a link to half-headline about the story below. Dolan.
Idiot.
