Tuesday, May 14, 7:24 AM The drama is picking up at Cablevision (CVC) after shareholder advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis say they will support an effort by New York City Comptroller to replace five directors at the cable concern. The directors come up for a vote next week at the company's annual meeting. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, May 9, 3:05 PM Senator John McCain officially introduces the Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013 in Congress in a milestone for the movement toward "a la carte" cable market pricing for consumers. On the floor of the Senate, McCain singled out Comcast's (CMCSA -0.9%) NBC and Disney's (DIS +1.1%) ESPN-ABC family of channels as examples of media concerns forcing consumers to pay for bundled channels they don't want. Analysts think the combined heft of the broadcasting industry stands a good chance of keeping McCain's bill spinning in place. (full bill) 9 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, May 9, 9:23 AM Shares of Cablevision (CVC) slump after the company misses estimates badly with its Q1 report. The company doesn't appear to be keeping up with peers, losing 5K video customers during the quarter while adding 23K broadband customers. Monthly revenue per customer relationship improved 1.7% Y/Y to $139.80. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, May 9, 8:37 AM Cablevision (CVC): Q1 EPS of -$0.06 misses by $0.12. Revenue of $1.52B (-0.8% Y/Y) misses by $0.12B. (PR) 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]
Thursday, May 9, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: AES, AGU, ALR, AM, AMRC, APA, BAM, BCE, CBB, CNSL, CTB, CVC, DF, DISH, DNDN, GLP, GTIV, IRC, KEM, KIOR, MEA, NPSP, OWW, PCP, SNE, SNSS, SPH, SRPT, TK, TNK, VICL, VNDA, WAC, WFR, WIN, WWAV, XRAY Comment! [Earnings]
Wednesday, May 8, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: AES, AGU, ALR, AM, AMRC, APA, BAM, BCE, CBB, CNSL, CTB, CVC, DF, DISH, DNDN, GLP, GTIV, IRC, KEM, KIOR, MEA, NPSP, OWW, PCP, SNE, SNSS, SPH, SRPT, TK, TNK, VICL, VNDA, WAC, WFR, WIN, WWAV, XRAY Comment! [Earnings]
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]
Sunday, April 14, 9:02 AM While Jill Priluck decries "the dark side of shareholder activism" on Reuters, the NYT's James Stewart highlights the "sham" shareholder democracy that has seen directors at dozens of publicly traded companies retaining their positions despite losing elections. The firms include Cablevision Systems (CVC), Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) and medical diagnostics Iris International, where shareholders rejected all nine directors in May 2011. They resigned but then voted to reject their own resignations. 29 Comments
Thursday, April 11, 12:48 PM The FCC deregulates Time Warner Cable (TWC -0.2%) in several cities in Ohio and California which could pave the way for rate hikes. The agency ruled that it faces "effective competition" from DirecTV and Dish Network. What to watch: The threshold for penetration has historically been 15% or higher before a market is considered open for deregulation, but in the age of streaming options such as Netflix will cable operators (CVC, CHTR) start to see more small markets open up? Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, April 9, 11:02 AM The NLRB authorizes a union complaint against Cablevision (CVC -0.2%) for allegedly using improper techniques to prevent unionization activities at the company. The organization will give Cablevision several days to offer a settlement before pushing the case further. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 27, 9:50 AM The latest figures on short interest from the NYSE and Nasdaq show an upward spike in short selling of both Cablevision (CVC -0.6%) and Charter Communications (CHTR +0.5%). As noted by dealReporter, the bearish bets came in amid discussion Cablevision might be put for sale and with John Malone stepping in to buy a stake in Charter. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, March 26, 2:27 PM Netflix (NFLX +5.8%) vs. Cable (TWC, CHTR, CVC, CMCSA): A nice little nugget to chew on from Pac Crest's bullish note covering Netflix is that the company only costs the average U.S. subscriber $0.20 per viewing hour - which stands far below the estimated $0.50 per hour in the cable industry. Look for the company to take advantage of this pricing discrepancy. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
Wednesday, March 20, 10:03 AM A survey conducted by Deloitte Touche indicates a lower percentage of the population considered cutting the chord to pay-TV services in 2012 than 2011. Though the wording of the question leads AllThingsD to speculate that at least some of the respondents answered yes to cutting premium-TV services such as HBO (TWX) instead of traditional cable/satellite (DTV, DISH, CMCSA, TWC, CHTR, CVC) options, the reported sharp drop in the pace of cord-cutting is still something to watch. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
Tuesday, March 19, 8:46 AM More on the Charter Communications (CHTR) - Liberty Media (LMCA) deal: Even with four board seats and a sizable stake, analysts thinks the end game for Liberty Media is complete control and a potential merger/spinoff scenario. The deal could have a long-term impact for either Time Warner Cable (TWC) or Cablevision (CVC) and also brings in some interesting possibilities for Sirius XM Radio (SIRI). 1 Comment [Consumer]
Tuesday, March 12, 7:05 AM Analysts on Wall Street suspect the $1B lawsuit filed by Cablevision (CVC) against Viacom is bit of an act of desperation with the company's stock price languishing in comparison to peers. The current line of thinking is that the Dolan family-run company may end up going private or merge with Time Warner Cable (TWC). Comment! [Consumer]
