Lionsgate is apparently close to a deal to sell about 50 percent of TVGN, formerly the TV Guide Network, to CBS. According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS will pay approximately $100 million – less than half of the $250 million Lionsgate paid for the TV Guide Network in 2009. The deal would include TVGuide.com, but not TV Guide magazine, which is owned by Open Gate Capital.
