Fund manager Mario Gabelli is to vote his fund's stake in Cablevision Systems Corp (CVC) against a $10.6 billion buyout of the New York-area cable operator and entertainment group, according to a regulatory filing.

- Cablevision Systems Corp’s Corporate Governance Quotient is worse than 98.5% of Russell 3000 companies and 83.1% of media companies.
- GAMCO Investors’ (GBL) Corporate Governance Quotient is worse than 93.9% of Russell 3000 companies and 85.3% of diversified financials companies.

With a bit of luck, this knife fight ends
with both combatants simultaneously striking mortal blows. And if a
stray blade finds Jim Dolan’s jugular, the entire New York winter
sports laundry diaspora will erupt in a display of joy not seen
since...well, certainly not since the Dolan brat (pictured) got his
hands on what used to be The World’s Greatest Arena.
