The satellite TV business has survived a series of mergers and acquisitions (not to mention a lot of intra-industry fighting). DBS also rocked a cable incumbent into improving service, captured the attention of Wall Street, won the praises (and sometimes raised the ire) of policy-makers and lobbyists inside the Beltway, put new TV technology into living rooms, and won the hearts of more than 26.7 million consumers" For more on The BRIDGE and to subscribe, visit: http://www.mbc-thebridge.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- PrimeTime Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- Close Pts. + % Chg 52-Week T 24.85 - 0.24 - 0.96 % 21.79 - 26.17 BLS 27.42 - 0.37 - 1.33 % 24.32 - 28.96 CVC 23.92 - 0.33 - 1.36 % 20.91 - 33.90 CHTR 1.26 - 0.02 - 1.56 % 0.88 - 2.36 CSCO 17.64 - 0.14 - 0.79 % 16.83 - 20.25 CMCSA 26.92 - 0.18 - 0.66 % 26.05 - 34.50 CSGS 22.60 0.20 0.89 % 15.74 - 24.76 DTV 13.62 - 0.06 - 0.44 % 13.17 - 17.01 DISCA 15.49 0.20 1.31 % 13.51 - 16.30 DISH 25.98 - 0.12 - 0.46 % 24.44 - 33.98 GMSTE 2.86 - 0.02 - 0.69 % 2.24 - 6.14 GE 35.35 - 0.22 - 0.62 % 32.67 - 37.75 ICCI 11.70 - 0.01 - 0.09 % 7.95 - 12.15 IACI 27.82 - 0.33 - 1.17 % 23.49 - 57.82 L 7.80 0.00 0.00 % 7.59 - 11.21 LBTYA 22.69 - 0.24 - 1.05 % 21.84 - 52.32 MCCC 5.27 0.09 1.74 % 4.75 - 7.59 MSFT 27.69 - 0.06 - 0.22 % 23.82 - 28.25 MOT 23.34 0.28 1.21 % 14.48 - 24.99 MBND 1.20 - 0.02 - 1.64 % 0.95 - 1.75 NNDS 39.92 0.59 1.50 % 29.27 - 41.70 NWS 16.42 0.38 2.37 % 14.76 - 19.41 NXTLM.PK 540.00 0.00 0.00 % 5.00 - 617.24 OPTV 2.53 0.03 1.20 % 2.07 - 4.06 OUTD 14.82 - 0.25 - 1.66 % 12.57 - 17.49 PAX 0.97 0.04 4.30 % 0.37 - 2.15 Q 5.59 0.32 6.07 % 3.30 - 5.35 SFA 42.37 - 0.10 - 0.24 % 26.73 - 42.53 SIRI 7.42 0.12 1.64 % 4.42 - 8.48 STM 18.26 0.03 0.16 % 13.96 - 20.20 TWX 17.76 - 0.36 - 1.99 % 16.10 - 19.90 TIVO 5.54 - 0.14 - 2.46 % 3.45 - 7.75 VZ 31.23 - 0.22 - 0.70 % 29.13 - 41.65 VIA 34.48 - 0.52 - 1.49 % 30.02 - 39.26 DIS 25.05 - 0.35 - 1.38 % 22.89 - 29.99 XMSR 27.86 - 0.75 - 2.62 % 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.
