Thursday, May 9, 9:27 AM AMC Networks (AMCX): Q1 EPS of $0.85 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $381.96M beats by $15.98M. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Breaking News]
Thursday, May 9, 8:04 AM Senator John McCain will introduce legislation shortly to overhaul the TV business by giving consumers the option to buy channels on an individual basis (a la carte) - instead of seeing only large bundles as options. The politician will face fierce resistance from broadcast (NWS, DIS, CMCSA, CBS, AMCX, SNI, OUTD, DISCA, VIAB) and cable companies (CVC, CHTR, TWC) but may have a friend in upstart Aereo which has been rankling a few feathers as well. (Aereo timeline) 28 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, April 29, 1:48 PM Barry Diller had some intriguing comments on upstart Aereo during a Bloomberg TV interview: 1) If the legal battles go Aereo's way, Diller sees a radical revolution where consumers have one wire into their house. Think cord-cutting on steroids - potentially good for Netflix (NFLX -0.1%) but clearly bad for broadcasters (CBS, CMCSA, DIS, AMCX). 2) Aereo could be profitable at 10M-20M subscribers. 3) What about media heavyweights such as News Corp (NWS, NWSA) threatening the nuclear option of going to cable? Diller thinks it's a grab for fees that won't play well for consumers. (video) 10 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
Thursday, April 25, 1:16 PM Time Warner Cable (TWC -0.2%) CEO Glenn Britt delivered a sobering thought for media concerns during the company's earnings call (transcript). The exec says if Aereo becomes legal it would have a "significant impact" on the future of transmission fees. The quick uptake is that the development would be good for cable/satellite players (CVC, DTV, CHTR, DISH), but bad for broadcasters (DIS, CBS, CMCSA, AMCX, NWS) (h/t Rich Greenfield BTIG) 2 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, April 15, 11:06 AM AMC Networks (AMCX -1.9%) expands into no-man's land with a planned shift to a Saturday time slot for its AMC show Boot Hill. Typically, the day is the destination of scrapped shows, but at this year's TV industry "upfront" meetings it's becoming clear that cable networks are willing to gamble as competitions increases. The big question to be answered this week is if upfront ad sales see any impact from the onslaught of streaming options for consumers. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Tuesday, April 9, 3:38 PM International TV markets appear to be opening up to edgy U.S. cable shows, according to the buzz from an influential media conference in France. What to watch: Networks such as FX (NWS, NWSA), A&E (AMCX), and Showtime (CBS) with hit show this year could see demand rise to help put another nail in the coffin of the traditional broadcast landscape. (Previous: TV broadcasters vs. Aereo) Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 27, 8:57 AM This Sunday's TV clash of popular series finales - AMC's (AMCX) The Walking Dead vs. HBO's (TWX) Game of Thrones - could see both networks walk away a winner. Nielsen has adjusted its ratings to include a three-day viewing period which has major implications for how advertising rates are set. What to watch: Amid the walking zombies and white walkers in-show product placements will also help to boost revenue for the networks. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 27, 8:07 AM A new report forecasts explosive growth in the number of pay TV households in the Asia-Pacific region with revenues expected to jump by $12B in the next five years. The conversion from analog TV to digital is a major source of the revenue potential in nations such as the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. What to watch: Though edging into China could be tricky, content players such as HBO (TWX), AMC Networks (AMCX), and Disney (DIS) could see a boost while the trend also has interesting implications for Netflix (NFLX). 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
Tuesday, March 19, 2:31 PM Digital video recorders are responsible for 29% of the viewing that cable and TV subscribers undertake each week, according to fresh data from Motorola Mobility. The twist: It's another paper cut for a broadcast industry (CBS, AMCX, TWX, CMCSA, OUTD) desperate to keep hold of advertising revenue despite the DVR trend and the advent of Dish Networks's (DISH -0.1%) ad-skipping Hopper service. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, March 19, 9:34 AM Youku (YOKU +1.4%) strikes an exclusive 2-year deal with major Hong Kong broadcaster TVB. 2500 hours of "hot dramas and old classics" will be provided by TVB each year for viewing on Youku's sites and mobile apps. Youku notes it already had a content deal with TVB, and recently struck a deal with AMC Networks (AMCX) to be "the exclusive source for AMC content in China." Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Tuesday, March 19, 7:15 AM AMC Networks (AMCX) is upgraded to Equal Weight from Underweight by analysts at Evercore with the company in a better position following the return of networks back to the DirecTV menu and a new deal with Rogers Communications. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, March 18, 1:37 PM The zombie premium: Maxim Group remains convinced that the strong ratings for The Walking Dead and the resumption of key networks on Dish Network will help boost shares of AMC Networks (AMCX +0.6%). Also in the mix is the potential for the company to add buybacks and boost its dividend. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, March 5, 11:15 AM Disney (DIS +1.3%) works out a deal with Nielsen to adapt some of the ratings firm's online measures for advertisers looking to market across different mediums. The bigger issue: With the network industry getting set to pitch shows for advertisers and set upfront fees - look for more deals as CBS (CBS), NBC (CMCSA), A&E (AMCX), Fox (NWS) and TBS (TWX) scrap to have every eyeball counted while big spenders like Anheuser-Busch Inbev, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola argue against it by contending the two mediums don't translate. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Tuesday, February 26, 2:36 PM More on the pay TV landscape (previous): Any change away from the model of forcing consumers to buy TV packages with hundreds of channels in favor of picking their options a la carte could help Dish Network (DISH +0.7%) and DirecTV (DTV -0.2%) - while pinching carriage fees for providers such as Scripps Networks Interactive (SNI -0.7%), AMC Networks (AMCX -4.3%) and even Disney (DIS +0.6%) with ESPN a major profit driver for the media giant. Though high-profile blackouts have hurt both sides, analysts think its the media companies that are starting to lose the PR battle with consumers. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Tuesday, February 26, 10:10 AM AMC Networks (AMCX -9.6%) slumps after reporting Q4 earnings that fell short of estimates. The company has been hit with higher costs as it shifts to more original content with SG&A expenses up 19% Y/Y during the period. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, February 26, 8:39 AM AMC Networks (AMCX): Q4 EPS of $0.21 may not be comparable with consensus of $0.63. Revenue of $366.7M misses by $3.33M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
