PBI Media yesterday confirmed rumors that it will be purchasing CableWorld from Primedia. PBI, which owns a host of cable-industry publications, will begin regularly publishing its new holding later
this month. Purchase price was not disclosed. Nancy Maynard, vice president and group publisher for PBI's Broadband Group, said that the acquisition of CableWorld makes the company a "one-stop shop"
for information about the broadband cable business. "CableWorld will continue to serve programmers and MSOs as it takes its place as one of the legs of our total market reach strategy," she said in a
press release.
