Cablevision agrees to be taken private
Cory Bergman May 2nd, 2007
Third time’s a charm. The Dolan family, on its third try, has convinced Cablevision to go private in $10 billion deal ($36.26 a share, or an 11 percent premium.)

I worked for Charlie Dolan for a few months back in the late ’60s not long after he had started Sterling Manhattan Cable, doing administrative and production tasks for Channel 6, which did original programming of a sort.
We had a coule of tiny little studios–just curtained-off portions of one big room that also served as the office–a total of three cameras, I think. There was a news broadcast (one desk, one anchor, one camera; he read his own copy), an interview show, a cooking show (with no kitchen), and occasional mini-documentaries on local community activities. I can’t remember now how I got the job; I’d never worked in television.
As I recall, I had some exalted title like Program Director, which meant typing up copy and arranging schedules and just generally running around being a gofer. It got pretty hectic at times.
Anybody know a tech guy named John Sanfratello? He was the Channel 6 technical director, extremely capable fellow. Jeez, he’d be in his 70s now.
