--------------------------------------------------------------------- The Evening Bridge - November 23, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP STORY -- Michael Rigas, former COO of Adelphia Communications, pleaded guilty today to signing a false statement, eliminating the need for his retrial on securities fraud and bank fraud charges in a scandal that forced the company into bankruptcy. Reports said the reduced charge could carry a sentence of three years in jail. Rigas, 51, pleaded guilty to making a false entry when signing off on company documents that later proved fraudulent.

Cablevision responded that it has no plans to sell the Knicks and the Rangers 'and the inquiry does not look credible to us,' stated the MSO. Moreover, the Dolan family, particularly Cablevision CEO and MSG Chairman James Dolan, has historically appeared to show a particular affinity toward the Sports assets." --------------------------------------------------------------------- PrimeTime Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- Close Pts. + % Chg 52-Week BLS 27.56 0.45 1.66 % 24.32 - 28.96 CVC 24.99 - 0.06 - 0.24 % 19.93 - 33.90 CHTR 1.21 - 0.04 - 2.82 % 0.88 - 2.40 CMCSA 27.19 0.09 0.33 % 26.05 - 34.50 CSGS 23.98 - 0.22 - 0.91 % 15.74 - 24.76 DTV 14.03 0.19 1.37 % 13.47 - 17.01 DISCA 15.81 0.06 0.38 % 13.51 - 16.30 DISH 26.55 0.00 0.00 % 24.44 - 34.38 GMSTE 2.49 0.01 0.40 % 2.24 - 6.14 GE 35.95 - 0.11 - 0.31 % 32.67 - 37.75 ICCI 11.63 0.01 0.09 % 7.95 - 12.15 IACI 28.32 - 0.43 - 1.50 % 23.49 - 57.82 L 7.74 - 0.01 - 0.13 % 7.59 - 11.21 LBTYA 24.28 - 0.22 - 0.90 % 23.93 - 52.32 MCCC 5.31 0.34 6.84 % 4.75 - 7.59 MSFT 27.91 0.00 0.00 % 23.82 - 28.25 MOT 24.65 0.65 2.71 % 14.48 - 24.00 MBND 1.19 0.10 9.17 % 0.95 - 1.78 MWAV 0.55 0.08 15.91 % 0.40 - 2.07 NNDS 39.61 0.11 0.28 % 29.27 - 40.35 NWS 15.85 0.10 0.63 % 14.76 - 19.41 NXTLM.PK 540.00 0.00 0.00 % 5.00 - 617.24 OPTV 2.23 0.04 1.83 % 2.07 - 4.14 OUTD 16.07 0.08 0.50 % 12.50 - 17.49 PAX 0.90 0.00 0.00 % 0.37 - 2.15 Q 5.14 - 0.01 - 0.19 % 3.30 - 5.16 SBC 24.71 - 0.06 - 0.24 % 21.79 - 26.56 SFA 42.27 - 0.05 - 0.12 % 26.73 - 42.53 SIRI 7.12 0.02 0.30 % 4.42 - 9.43 STM 17.50 0.14 0.81 % 13.96 - 20.68 TWX 18.35 0.18 0.99 % 16.10 - 19.90 TIVO 5.74 0.02 0.35 % 3.45 - 7.75 VZ 31.84 - 0.03 - 0.09 % 29.13 - 42.21 VIA 34.14 0.05 0.15 % 30.02 - 39.26 DIS 25.02 0.08 0.32 % 22.89 - 29.99 XMSR 30.90 - 0.10 - 0.32 % 26.16 - 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.
