    FaxUpdate April 1, 2005: VOOM Shutdown Could Be Announced As Early As Today

    Funny how so often we describejournalists are all "nitwits" (or worse) when they write what we don't like. Even a cursory reading of Malone's transcript (or his comments about VOOM in the past) shows he has told Dolan again and again that the VOOM concept just is not a good bet. Thus he has...

    SEC Filing - Election of the Board of Directors

    MarcelV: Tell it to NY Atty Gen Spitzer, or to the WorldCom chiefs, or the Enron thieves. In the current regulatory and legal environment there is just one word for your view: wrong. The only way a majority stockholder can follow his own whims is to take his company private. Otherwise he can...

    SEC Filing - Election of the Board of Directors

    The more Chuck Dolan packs the Board, the more liablity he, CVC, and the Board members (as individuals) face. That he would file this even while CVC is under SEC investigation is astounding.

    Cablevision and Adelphia?

    So how does this story (from Tuesday's New York Times) fit in everyone's predictions of the future? Cablevision May Join Adelphia Bid By ANDREW ROSS SORKIN The New York Times March 29, 2005 Cablevision Systems is in advanced talks to join two big private equity firms that are...

    Mikey Fremer's take on the VOOM story.

    Since Cablevision has told the SEC it lost $661 million on VOOM just last year, I would think the author's credibility is seriously in doubt. A good tip to question an author is when he/she spends a lot of words trashing other journalists. Kremer obviously has an agenda -- and that is...

    Monday's (3/7) Wall Street Journal Story

    I just love the idea of press releases as a trusted "source". Or SEC filings, for that matter. (The WorldCom and Enron press releases -- and SEC filings -- were really valuable.) Give me a legitimate, no-axe-to-grind, knowledgable (and skeptical) reporter, any time.

    Monday's (3/7) Wall Street Journal Story

    Deal to Save Voom May Be in Works By PETER GRANT Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL March 7, 2005 Executives working for Voom, the satellite service owned by Cablevision Systems Corp., have assured Sears, Roebuck & Co., the largest retailer of the service, that they likely have a deal...

    Possible Liability CVC Faces In Light Of Actions Against VOOM - 03.01.2005

    Let's get serious. The shareholders have sunk $1.4 billion into VOOM. Over 2004, it lost money ($661.1 million) at the rate of $12.71 million a week. That's a loss of $1.81 million a day. So even if CVC shuts down VOOM at the end of March that will be another $56.11 million down the drain...

    Pulling the Plug on Voom Subscribers

    Pulling the Plug on Voom Subscribers

    Who knows what VOOM will tell its subs? After all, it was telling its employees everything was fine and they would be working for an ongoing business while Charlie was signing the purchase agreement. One day the signal just won't be there. I can't believe anyone will have much, if any...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    WE may not have gotten updated subscriber numbers, but does anyone seriously believe the Board of Directors didn't have up-to-the-moment numbers on Tuesday (not to mention back in December when they originally voted to stop funding VOOM?)

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    re MarcelV: As a publicly traded company, they can not make more information publicly available till a sale is finalized. This is common, because it may have great consequences on the stock trade. Surely you are kidding? Would you like to quote me the SEC law that allegedly provides...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    Sean Mota: You are right, CVC WAS willing to spin off all those subsidiaries, but the Board forced CVC to drop the sale of all but RDBS (VOOM) back in December. Sell all the money makers and CVC loses most of its value. If the networks and the rest are thrown in the business will be...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    Begging to differ with Sean Mota, (who usually is right on with his VOOM thoughts). The entire RDBS is up for sale. Not pieces. Read the memo. This is the same spin-off company that is up for sale. The whole package. As even the Dolan memo specifically notes, the potential sale does...

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate
