		<description><![CDATA[CBS Corporation&#8217;s (CBS) fourth-quarter 2011 earnings of $0.57 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.53 and surged 23.9% from $0.46 earned in the year-ago quarter buoyed by growth in high margin operations and cost-containment efforts. The quarter saw a step up in both the advertising marketplace as well as profitable content deals. Management remains confident about continued growth momentum in fiscal 2012. However, the significant potential risk is CBS&#8217;s high dependence on advertising revenue, which is driven by the health of the economy. To mitigate this, the company is striving to add diverse revenue streams to hedge against economic cycles, which include retransmission, affiliate and online distribution fees. Further, CBS&#8217;s substantial liquidity, positions it to drive future growth and enhance shareholders return. Currently, we maintain our Outperform recommendation ]]></description>

However, the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The newly announced deal will extend CBS Corporation’s existing deal to 2022. The current deal was scheduled to end in 2013. According to the pact, CBS Sports will remain the broadcaster of the NFL&#8217;s American Football Conference (AFC). Moreover, CBS will also broadcast games from the National Football Conference (NFC). As part of NFL&#8217;s expanded &#8220;flexible scheduling”, CBS Corporation for the first time, will broadcast AFC and NFC matches in the same season. Is the Deal Financially Viable? Though the financial terms were not disclosed, we believe that the new contract, commencing in 2014, will mark a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our Underperform recommendation on Grupo Televisa S.A. (TV) global depositary shares (GDS) ahead of its third quarter-2011 financial results. Televisa lost a significant amount of advertising revenue from businesses of Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim. Intensifying competition in the Mexican pay-TV market has forced Televisa to spend more in order to retain and solidify its customer base. As a result, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by leaps and bounds which significantly hurt the company&#8217;s bottom line. Televisa is trying its best to enter into the lucrative wireless market of Mexico. Despite this, we remain concerned that the company may not get the necessary regulatory approvals. We believe prolonged legal battles with Carlos Slim controlled entities will continue to affect the overall financials of Televisa in the rest of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI), a leading cable MSO and wireless operator in Canada, has decided to diversify vertically. Management plans to apply to government for introducing a bank under the Canadian Bank Act. However, the company announced that if granted permission, Rogers Communications will primarily focus on credit, payment, and charge-card services and it has no immediate plan to convert the bank as a full-service deposit taking and lending financial institution. It may take more than one year to get banking license from the government. We believe Rogers Communications is trying to establish its foothold in the mobile-banking vertical. The mobile-banking is a rapidly growing still unsaturated market opportunity in Canada. This was primarily attributable to massive growth of smartphone, which can be used as an electronic wallet for netbanking, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the 10-year T-note yielding only 3.06%, those investors interested in getting income from their investments are in sort of a tough place. Dividend-paying stocks are a very good place to look for a replacement. One thing you know for sure is that the coupon payment on a 10-year note is not going to rise. A yield of 3.06% does not offer much of a cushion against inflation. What is inflation likely to average over the next 10 years? I have no idea, but based on the spread between the regular 10-year note, and the 10-year TIPS, the market is implicitly expecting a rate of about 2.50%, which is pretty much in line with the historical experience (Headline CPI) over the last 20 years of 2.57%. While core inflation is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a significant move, the Mexican wireless regulator Comision Federal de Telecomunicaciones (CoFeTel) approved yesterday the auction bid submitted by Grupo Televisa S.A. (TV) and its partner Nextel for a 30 MHz nationwide block in the 1.7 GHz band of wireless frequency. Last July, Televisa and Nextel together also won a block of frequency ranging from 1850 MHz – 1990 MHz. This bid raises several controversies because the Televisa-Nextel bid size for 30 MHz spectrum block is of just $14 million. This is far below the $400 million bid size by the two largest Mexican wireless operators, America Movil SAB (AMX) and Telefonica S.A. (TEF), for another block of wireless spectrum. Despite this low bid size, Televisa-Nextel venture remains the only bidder due to the CoFeTel rules that restrict the amount of wireless spectrum ]]></description>

(RCI) following its first quarter 2010 financial results, significantly above the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Free cash flow, cash returns to shareholders, and adjusted operating profit increased in double digits. Rogers’ Wireless operations, which account for more than half of the company’s total revenue and 64% of its EBITDA, are well positioned with the lead share (37%) of the Canadian market. Wireless penetration in Canada is little more than 60%, providing massive growth opportunities for the well-positioned Canadian operators. In the first quarter 2010, wireless data revenue was $415 million, up 40% year-over-year and represents 26% of the total Wireless segment revenue. Subscribers with smartphones now represent approximately 33% of the overall postpaid subscriber base, up from 23% from the prior-year ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded our recommendation on CBS Corporation (CBS) to Neutral from Outperform with a target price of $15.00. Due to its exposure to publishing, radio and television broadcasting, and outdoor billboard businesses CBS Corporation remains highly susceptible to the advertising market. The company experienced revenue declines across television, radio, outdoor and publishing businesses in the most recent quarter. However, the company has been aggressively selling slower-growth radio stations in mid-sized markets to focus on the large markets that promise faster growth. As the company divests non-core assets, it is leveraging its strong balance sheet to deploy cash in higher growth interactive businesses. Longer term, we think CBS’s divestitures will strengthen operations as it rationalizes its portfolio with better margin and higher growth businesses. Moreover, in order to protect its ]]></description>

Out of this four, Globalive &#8212; which will use the Wind Mobile brand &#8212; intends to offer service in most of the country. Canadian cable TV segment is also getting very much competitive. Rogers’ closest rival, Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), decided to test its super fast network to support Internet access speed of 1 Gbps.

		<description><![CDATA[Grupo Televisa S.A. (TV), the largest media company in Mexico, reported financial results for the fourth quarter 2009. Quarterly consolidated net income was $91 million, down 58% year-over-year. Fourth quarter EPGDS (Earnings per Global Depository Shares) was 16 cents, significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents. This was primarily due to higher cost of sales and foreign exchange losses. Quarterly consolidated net revenue of $1,161.5 million was an improvement of 4.8% over the prior-year quarter and was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,088 million. This was mainly attributable to vigorous growth in its cable and satellite services partially offset by lukewarm performance in Publishing and Television Broadcasting segments. Quarterly gross margin was 54.9% compared to 56.2% in the prior-year quarter. Fourth quarter consolidated operating income was $329 ]]></description>

(RCI) following its fourth quarter 2009 financial results, which came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Despite facing an extremely challenging economic environment, Rogers performed exceptionally well in 2009, reflecting effective cost controls and an improved churn rate. This enabled the company to generate a double-digit increase in cash flow generation. Supported by strong free cash flow generation, the company announced a 10% dividend hike, taking the annual dividend from $1.16 to $1.28 per Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting share. The company also announced a renewal of Rogers&#8217; NCIB program for the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of its Class B non-Voting shares on the open market during the next year.

The quarterly earnings, which remain in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, posted a double-digit growth on a year-over-year basis on the heels of cost containment initiatives. The quarter highlights improving trends in advertising due to renewed strength in the auto and financial services sectors, rise in traffic at CBS Interactive sites with subscriber growth registered across Cable Networks. Management remains confident about the growth momentum continuing in fiscal 2010. Due to its exposure to publishing, radio and television broadcasting, and outdoor billboard businesses CBS Corporation remains highly susceptible to the advertising market.

The company is in negotiation with Vivendi SA of France to form a joint venture. The Mexican government has decided to auction mobile-phone airwaves in the first half of 2010. The joint venture will be a 50-50 partnership between Televisa and Vivendi and will bid for a wireless spectrum in the auction. Industry sources reported that the new company has decided to invest $3 billion in order to deploy a nationwide wireless network in Mexico. We believe that this joint venture may generate serious threat to the incumbent Mexican mobile giants like America Movil SAB (AMX) and Telefonos de Mexico SAB (TMX).

However, the revised guidance still represents a decline of 6.5% from $164.4 million recorded in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Grupo Televisa S.A. (TV), the largest media company in Mexico, reported mixed financial results for the third quarter 2009. Quarterly consolidated net revenue of $970 million was an improvement of 5.5% over the prior-year quarter. However, this was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $983 million. The year-over-year increase in the top-line was mainly attributable to healthy revenue growth in Sky, Cable &#38; Telecom, Programming Exports, Pay television Networks, and Other Business segments, partially offset by a fall in revenue in Publishing and Television Broadcasting segments. Quarterly consolidated net income was $174.8 million, up 3.8% year-over-year. Third-quarter EPGDS (Earnings per Global Depository Shares) was 31 cents, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents. This was primarily due to effective control of operating expenses, as well as a significant reduction ]]></description>

On a reported basis Incorporatedluding one-time items, quarterly earnings of 30 cents a share improved from quarterly loss of $18.58 delivered in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[CBS Corporation (CBS), the media conglomerate, recently asserted that it still expects its full year 2009 operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) in the range of $1.725 billion to $1.925 billion. The uptrend seen in the second-quarter 2009 revenue has made management optimistic and forecasted better results in the third and fourth quarters compared to the earlier quarters in 2009. The company also indicated some signs of revival in advertising demand in core categories like retail, telecom, pharmaceuticals and quick service restaurants. Although the sluggish advertising market continues to hurt total revenue, which declined 11% to $3,006.3 million in the second-quarter 2009, but CBS saw a 3% improvement in quarterly revenue compared with a 14% drop in the first-quarter 2009.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, CBS Corp. (CBS) agreed to sell four of its radio stations – KINK-FM, KUPL-FM, KUFO-FM and KCMD-AM – in Portland, Oregon, to Alpha Broadcasting (a company formed by radio executive Larry Wilson and Endeavour Capital) for $40 million in cash. The company has been aggressively selling slower-growth radio stations in mid-sized markets to focus on the large markets that promise real growth. In the past eight months, CBS has divested twelve radio stations. Management is looking for accretive options to divest more radio stations since the market for station sales has improved. As the company divests non-core assets, it is leveraging its strong balance sheet to deploy cash in higher-growth interactive businesses that complement its core operations. Its acquisition of CNET Networks in June 2008 is notable. It also ]]></description>
