Just about everything Cablevision has touched outside its industry, "The Wiz" and "The Knicks" immediately come to mind, has been a black hole of never ending losses. I suspect Newsday will do good job of sucking more investment dollars and forcing Cablevision subscriber increases.

| deal?
Newspapers are on the decline. Mainstream media is similarly doomed due to consolidation of ownership. Cablevision similarly does well in taking flailing businesses and somehow profiting off of it's utter destruction/dissolution.
How much longer will $29.95 triple play hold water before a price increase? I suspect what will develop are "lite tiers" of it's internet, phone and cable service from 15/2 to 5/1... 500 calling minutes (incoming free), and 24 cable tv channels (the sucky ones). The "happy meal" of triple play. |

| I suspect what we'll see is people trying to out price one another until such point companies start to fail. It sort of reminds me of the movie demolition man where Taco Bell is the only remaining restaurant. I got a feeling that it will come down to a lot of companies going out of business in price wars, with the winner then fixing the market at their heart's desire. It's already happened when the phone companies got deregulated. Most areas had little competition and the OPPOSITE happened with price. |

"Cablevision is the first large cable company to invest in a newspaper that shares the same market"
Can't say that is a true statement. I know of another cable company that has owned a newspaper for awhile now, that shares the same market. |
