We are more concerned about gross add comps in 2005. In aggregate, we calculate that fewer local TV launches, tougher competition in the NRTC (National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative) territories, tougher competition in the Hispanic market and less contribution from SBC could create a gap of 400,000-500,000 gross adds this year." --------------------------------------------------------------------- PrimeTime Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- Close Pts. + % Chg 52-Week BLS 26.60 0.02 0.08 % 24.46 - 28.96 CVC 25.68 - 0.55 - 2.10 % 16.13 - 31.64 CHTR 1.07 0.01 0.94 % 0.88 - 4.06 CMCSA 32.21 - 0.04 - 0.12 % 26.25 - 34.50 CSGS 18.31 - 0.55 - 2.92 % 14.02 - 21.22 DTV 14.74 - 0.17 - 1.14 % 13.88 - 18.25 DISH 28.95 - 0.58 - 1.96 % 26.95 - 34.38 GMSTE 3.32 0.13 4.08 % 2.93 - 6.39 GE 36.86 - 0.21 - 0.57 % 30.82 - 37.75 ICCI 11.05 0.12 1.10 % 7.83 - 12.15 IACI 24.09 - 0.10 - 0.41 % 19.16 - 31.82 L 10.42 - 0.05 - 0.48 % 8.33 - 11.24 LBTYA 42.51 - 0.25 - 0.58 % 28.60 - 47.70 MCCC 5.79 0.04 0.70 % 5.06 - 8.55 MSFT 25.71 - 0.04 - 0.16 % 23.82 - 30.20 MOT 17.17 - 0.20 - 1.15 % 13.83 - 20.47 MBND 1.06 - 0.04 - 3.64 % 0.96 - 1.78 MWAV 1.08 0.08 8.00 % 0.85 - 2.78 NNDS 31.47 - 0.64 - 1.99 % 19.60 - 40.00 NWS 16.65 0.05 0.30 % 15.305 - 19.41 NXTL 28.92 0.11 0.38 % 21.18 - 30.50 OUTD 14.20 - 0.70 - 4.70 % 12.50 - 19.30 PAX 0.74 0.08 12.12 % 0.48 - 3.81 PIO 16.24 - 0.36 - 2.17 % 16.00 - 26.46 Q 3.78 0.00 0.00 % 2.56 - 4.86 SBC 23.55 - 0.06 - 0.25 % 22.78 - 27.29 SFA 33.83 - 0.27 - 0.79 % 24.61 - 36.06 SIRI 5.64 - 0.03 - 0.53 % 2.01 - 9.43 FON 22.58 0.00 0.00 % 16.83 - 25.80 TWX 17.56 - 0.16 - 0.90 % 15.41 - 19.90 TIVO 6.72 0.12 1.82 % 3.45 - 9.12 UCOMA 9.18 - 0.10 - 1.08 % 5.80 - 10.23 VZ 35.40 0.20 0.57 % 33.71 - 42.27 VIA 35.25 - 0.26 - 0.73 % 32.56 - 39.26 DIS 27.65 - 0.01 - 0.04 % 20.88 - 29.99 XMSR 30.87 - 0.39 - 1.25 % 22.43 - 40.89 ===================================================================== For all the industry critical news - see: The BRIDGE War Room - http://www.mbc-thebridge.com/research.cfm SkyREPORT - http://www.skyreport.com SkyRETAILER - http://www.skyretailer.com The BRIDGE - http://www.mbc-thebridge.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- -To modify your subscription to The Evening Bridge, visit http://www.mbc-thebridge.com/register.cfm We welcome your comments and suggestions.
