Cablevision Systems Corporation Research Report
With a federal antitrust lawsuit against Viacom on the way, Cablevision posted higher fourth quarter earnings, slightly offset by superstorm Sandy. Viacom allegedly was illegally forcing cable providers to purchase programming services. The entertainment content company forced Cablevision to carry and pay for 14 lesser-watched ancillary networks in order to carry must-have networks. If ever Cablevision wins this case, it may put an end to forced bundling altogether, opening an opportunity for cable providers to reach households that refuse to pay for expensive packages, resulting to a larger customer base. The opportunity would also allow premium channels to become more accessible. The company's fourth quarter cable advertising revenue grew 17.6 percent. On April 29 Cablevision will release its fort quarter results for 2013.
