Cablevision to team up with Ticketmaster

A partnership seems imminent between Ticketmaster and cable provider/multi-network owner Cablevision. If the reported deal goes through, Ticketmaster owner AEG Live stands to gain a large media component alongside the world’s largest ticketing company.

A major component of the partnership involves Rainbow Media, a division of Cablevision that runs the Independent Film Channel (IFC), WE: Women's Entertainment, American Movie Classics (AMC) and Fuse TV. Sources say the cable music channel Fuse TV will undergo a multi-million dollar re-branding effort as a result of the deal.
