The news Sunday comes a day after Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. withdrew its own $580 million bid, despite assurances from Murdoch himself just days earlier that he would prevail.

The person with knowledge of the matter asked to remain anonymous since the talks are confidential. Spokesmen for Tribune and Cablevision declined comment.
