However, our reaction is that such a deal would probably be a fundamental positive long term but could reduce revenue growth near-term and won’t be the near-term catalyst that a more comprehensive deal could have been." --------------------------------------------------------------------- PrimeTime Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- Close Pts. + % Chg 52-Week T 25.09 - 0.11 - 0.44 % 21.79 - 26.17 BLS 27.79 0.02 0.07 % 24.32 - 28.96 CVC 24.25 0.04 0.17 % 20.91 - 33.90 CHTR 1.28 - 0.02 - 1.54 % 0.88 - 2.36 CSCO 17.78 0.22 1.25 % 16.83 - 20.35 CMCSA 27.10 - 0.04 - 0.15 % 26.05 - 34.50 CSGS 22.40 - 0.18 - 0.80 % 15.74 - 24.76 DTV 13.68 0.04 0.29 % 13.17 - 17.01 DISCA 15.29 0.18 1.19 % 13.51 - 16.30 DISH 26.10 - 0.21 - 0.80 % 24.44 - 33.98 GMSTE 2.88 0.03 1.05 % 2.24 - 6.14 GE 35.57 - 0.23 - 0.64 % 32.67 - 37.75 ICCI 11.71 0.04 0.34 % 7.95 - 12.15 IACI 28.15 0.02 0.07 % 23.49 - 57.82 L 7.80 0.00 0.00 % 7.59 - 11.21 LBTYA 22.93 0.34 1.51 % 21.84 - 52.32 MCCC 5.18 - 0.06 - 1.15 % 4.75 - 7.59 MSFT 27.75 0.06 0.22 % 23.82 - 28.25 MOT 23.06 - 0.39 - 1.66 % 14.48 - 24.99 MBND 1.22 0.02 1.67 % 0.95 - 1.78 NNDS 39.33 0.20 0.51 % 29.27 - 41.70 NWS 16.04 0.13 0.82 % 14.76 - 19.41 NXTLM.PK 540.00 0.00 0.00 % 5.00 - 617.24 OPTV 2.50 0.12 5.04 % 2.07 - 4.06 OUTD 15.07 - 0.02 - 0.13 % 12.57 - 17.49 PAX 0.93 - 0.01 - 1.06 % 0.37 - 2.15 Q 5.27 0.03 0.57 % 3.30 - 5.35 SFA 42.47 0.13 0.31 % 26.73 - 42.53 SIRI 7.30 0.09 1.25 % 4.42 - 9.43 STM 18.26 - 0.21 - 1.14 % 13.96 - 20.68 TWX 18.12 - 0.13 - 0.71 % 16.10 - 19.90 TIVO 5.68 - 0.08 - 1.39 % 3.45 - 7.75 VZ 31.45 - 0.29 - 0.91 % 29.13 - 41.98 VIA 35.05 0.21 0.60 % 30.02 - 39.26 DIS 25.67 0.15 0.59 % 22.89 - 29.99 XMSR 28.61 0.26 0.92 % 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.
