But a judge this summer ruled that the Globes broadcast rights are controlled by Dick Clark Productions which is contracted with NBC until 2018. It now appears Moonves is taking another tack. According to Reuters, CBS is considering a bid for Dcp owned by Red Zone Capital. Some 17 potential buyers received Dcp’s financial info from The Raine Group, which is handling the sales process, Reuters said. It reports now 4 to 6 bidders, including CBS, have moved on to a second round of bidding. Dcp CEO Mark Shapiro and Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, chairman of Dcp, are asking $350 million. Previously reported bidders include Ryan Seacrest and Miramax owner Colony Capital, private equity firm Guggenheim Partners.
