Another, stand alone, Cable network that is definitely worth taking a look at is Scripps Network Int

Growing inns and hotels for sale up as a kid, we never had Cable. Other than the fact that it was expensive and there wasn t cable money in the budget (with a family of 4 boys), our parents didn t want us spending our lives in front of the TV. With nothing but boring network TV channels to choose from, my brothers and I were forced outside to find entertainment and trouble in the real world. There was always something exciting happening at the neighborhood basketball courts but it was definitely frustrating when the conversation turned to whether you d seen the latest episode of some show that was on cable. inns and hotels for sale I remember feeling envious of those kids that had the luxury of 50+ channels to choose from.
Les Moonves, inns and hotels for sale the head of CBS, seems to be having cable envy as well based on comments that he s made recently. While all of the other kids in the neighborhood have major cable holdings at their fingertips: Disney (DIS) has ESPN, Time Warner Inc. (TWX) has HBO, Cinemax, and TNT, News Corp (NWS) has Fox News, CBS has just plain old network TV and Showtime (aside from a couple inns and hotels for sale of small Cable channels).
But the lure of cable cannot be ignored. While Broadcast TV has been generating consistent revenues over the years, Cable is starting to pull ahead. Cable revenues for 2012 are reflecting YOY revenue growth of 5% which is 5x the YOY revenue growth rate experienced by the network broadcasters.
Last week, Moonves, attended the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference in New York where he was asked the question about whether he had interest in adding Cable. He responded: Would we like a general entertainment channel at the right price?. Absolutely.
So how can we get cable added to our portfolio so we can profit off of expected future revenue growth in this space? Well, aside from DIS, TWX, and NWS we can also take a look at Viacom inns and hotels for sale (VIA) which is the former parent company of CBS and currently the owner of MTV, BET, VH1 and many others. All 4 of these companies have substantial presence in the Cable network segment and should be well positioned to benefit from growing advertising revenues.
Another, stand alone, Cable network that is definitely worth taking a look at is Scripps inns and hotels for sale Network Interactive, Inc (SNI). Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. operates as a lifestyle content company in the United States and internationally. It engages in the operation of television networks, including Home and Garden Television (HGTV), Food Network, Travel Channel, DIY Network, inns and hotels for sale Cooking Channel, and Great American Country. The company has experienced quarterly revenue growth (YOY) of 12.50% and its stock is exhibiting continue strength, trading near all time highs:
Ultimately, the market is showing continued interest in both Broadcasting and Cable TV as advertising revenue continues to pour in. We have heard a lot about TV being dead as advertisers take to social inns and hotels for sale media and the web, while at the same time new services like Apple TV and Netflix fight for consumer attention. However, don t overlook these TV related stocks for your portfolio, rumors of TV s death seem to be quite premature.
