| Cablevision Boss Elected to Live Nation Entertainment Board of Directors |

The addition adds substantial media heft to the company's board. Dolan is also executive chairman of The Madison Square Garden Company, which Cablevision spun off as a separate, public company in 2010. MSG owns such venues as Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theater and the Chicago Theater. It also owns sports teams (New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New York Liberty) and media properties (MSG, Fuse). There is no doubt about Dolan's clout in live entertainment. In addition
to heading cable television company Cablevision, which owns the AMC and
IFC networks and New York Newsday, Dolan is also the executive
chairman of the Madison Square Garden Company (MSG), which owns the
venerable New York City arena and the Beacon Theatre, Radio City Music
Hall and The Chicago Theatre, and combined the four venues are among the
most successful in the U.S.
