KSL Talks With Initiative Down To The Wire

NEW YORK — KSL Media, a subsidiary of the former True North, which was swallowed up by the Interpublic Group of Cos. two months ago, is set to conclude talks by the end of next week with IPG’s Initiative Media North America about KSL’s possibly regaining its independent status, sources said.

During the last few weeks, KSL’s status was something of an afterthought, with its focus on integrating TN Media into its fold, a process that was completed last week.
