Seattle-based Fisher Communications is one of the mystery investors in Datasphere, which announced a $10.8 round of funding in early January, reports PaidContent. Datasphere powers over 100 neighborhood news sites for Fisher’s television stations in Seattle (KOMO), Portland (KATU) and a few other markets. Fisher’s investment was $1.5 million.
In July 2007, Fisher bought Pegasus News, the Dallas-based news and hyperlocal data startup, only to sell the company in January of 2009. (Thanks Ian!)
