In 2007, Cablevision sold its remaining share of the network to Comcast and on October 1, 2007 the network was rebranded as CSN New England. CSN New England, along with the other Comcast SportsNet branded networks, was revamped with a new network logo and graphics package (similar to CSN Bay Area) in August 2008.
