Strapped viewers are cutting cable

 

Indianapolis Star (IN): 19 August 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Aug. 19--Eric Thomas and his wife were looking for ways to cut expenses as they set out to tackle their credit card debt. Brandon Wilsman and his wife also were seeking a way to cut their monthly spending, saving up for a baby on the way.

 

Both Indianapolis-area families ended up pulling the plug on the same thing: their cable subscription.

 

They're not alone. Americans are canceling or passing on cable and satellite TV subscriptions in record numbers, according to an Associated Press analysis of the companies' quarterly earnings reports.

 

Experts say it's the combination of a difficult economy leading people to look for places to cut back and the accessibility of TV shows and movies online. But, they say, those cutting cable are in the minority.

 

In Indiana, representatives from two major subscription-cable providers acknowledged the changing industry and said they're keeping up with it through enhanced options on and offline. But Comcast spokeswoman Mary Beth Halprin and Bright House Networks spokeswoman Brooke Krodel said their companies have seen subscriber growth in Indiana, though they declined to provide specifics.

 

Nationwide, eight of the industry's nine largest subscription-TV providers lost 195,700 subscribers in the April to June quarter, according to the Associated Press report. The 0.2 percent drop is the first quarterly loss for the group, which serves about 70 percent of households.

 

The companies tallied in the AP report include four of the five largest cable companies, as well as phone companies Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. and satellite broadcasters DirecTV Group Inc. and Dish Network Corp. The phone companies and satellite broadcasters have been reaping customers from cable and making up for cable company losses until now, the AP reported.

 

Excluded from the tally were Cox Communications, the country's third-largest cable company -- which is privately held -- and a slew of smaller cable companies.

 

The conventional wisdom is that people see cable as a place to cut back on spending because it's becoming easier and easier to access popular TV shows on the Internet, said Michael McGregor, a professor of telecommunications at Indiana University.

 

That was the case for Wilsman and his wife, who quickly decided their cable subscription would be the first thing to go after learning of the pregnancy.

 

"It seemed like it was so excessive to pay $100 a month for cable and Internet when we could spend $40 on just Internet," Wilsman said.

 

The South Broad Ripple couple, both in their 20s, watch "Modern Family" on Hulu and other shows on Netflix. Wilsman said they "don't miss cable at all."

 

Thomas and his wife, who live in Brownsburg, were in a similar situation.

 

"We took a hard look at all the utilities we were paying and how much value those had, and we tried to slim down as much outgoing costs as we could," he said. The two also watch network television shows through Hulu and Netflix.

 

David Waterman, an Indiana University telecommunications professor who specializes in media economics, said people who are ditching cable for Internet are in the minority because cable still offers a full range of programming -- largely sports-related -- not available online.

 

The industry is not in any real danger yet, he said, because most people still want the programs that are offered solely on TV.

 

Bright House Networks and Comcast have been able to fight back. Both offer Internet streaming to their customers. Bright House plans to launch an iPad app that will allow subscribers to watch live TV in their homes, and HBO Go, which will give them access to HBO programs from their computer, Krodel said.

 

Comcast is rolling out a program that offers Internet access at $9.95 a month to low-income families that meet certain requirements, Halprin said.

vision and extensive network to successfully bring it to market. With

 

Rick leading the charge, we are now poised to change the way business

Cox to televise NSU-Bacone game

 

Tahlequah Daily Press (OK): 18 August 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Aug. 18--After a 2010 season where Northeastern State's football team had limited exposure on the airwaves, the RiverHawks are bursting onto the scene in 2011.

 

NSU announced Wednesday that it will not only have multiple options for listening to football games, but the RiverHawks will also make a television appearance, too.

 

The RiverHawks' opening game against Bacone -- tabbed as the Oklahoma Kickoff Classic -- will be televised by Cox Communications in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City markets on Aug. 27. Kickoff is slated for 6:05 p.m. at Doc Wadley Stadium.

 

"It will be a plus for recruiting," NSU head coach Kenny Evans said. "Any time you can get your program into half a million homes ... it'll be a benefit for us."

 

Calling the action in the game will be Chris Lincoln, KTUL sports director in Tulsa. Allan Trimble, a NSU alum and current head coach at Jenks High School, will provide color commentary.

 

"Oklahomans are excited about the football season beginning and Northeastern State has the distinct honor of playing the first game in the state," said Tony Duckworth, director of athletics at NSU. "The opportunity to partner with Cox Communications doesn't come along every year. Televising the game to some 400,000 households is an unbelievable way to begin the year and provide exposure of our university, and football program to the thousands of our alumni in the state."

 

With the added exposure comes added pressure, right coach Evans?

 

"Hopefully," he said, "we put on a good show."

 

NSU has also enhanced its listening options on the radio dial. The RiverHawks will play live on KTLQ, AM-1350 in Tahlequah, and KTLQ's sister station, KEOK, FM-102.1, will air games when they do not conflict with Oklahoma State games.

 

"Live radio is big, and it's something people have been looking for," Evans said.

 

The Sports Animal (KYAL), FM-97.1, in Tulsa will also carry three live games -- Bacone, at Texas-San Antonio (Sept. 3) and Midwestern State (Nov. 12) -- for NSU this year. All other games will be rebroadcast at 10 p.m. on Saturdays.

 

Other listening or viewing options for NSU followers this season include:

 

--A live video stream of home football and basketball games -- and select away games -- will be available via America One on the Internet. Fans can purchase the football video stream for $8 per game, or purchase a season pass for $69.95. The basketball pass will be $89.95. The entire schedule will be posted on the NSU's athletics web site goriverhawksgo.com in the near future.

 

--Live audio will continue to be streamed live via the NSU athletics web site at no charge through an agreement with Stretch Internet.

 

"All the exposure, the Sports Animal, television and playing in the Alamodome (against UT-San Antonio) is great for the university," Evans said. "Hopefully, it'll help down the road."

Northwest Florida Daily News, Fort Walton Beach, Brenda Shoffner column

 

Northwest Florida Daily News (Fort Walton Beach): 18 August 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Aug. 18--Like most people, my family has cutback on many things during the last six years or so.

 

One of those things was our cable television access. For about two years, we subsisted on "less than basic" service.

 

If you're thinking, "C'mon, Brenda, you and your husband have jobs." You're right, and we're darned lucky to have them.

 

We also have two children in college on top of regular living expenses, so looking for ways to save money is an ongoing project. We have plenty of company.

 

The Associated Press released a story last week about this very trend. "In a tally by the AP," the story said, "eight of the nine largest subscription TV providers in the U.S. lost 195,700 subscribers in the April-to-June quarter."

 

The story pointed out that the analysis excluded Cox Communications, the third-largest cable company, because Cox is privately held and does not disclose subscriber numbers.

 

Honestly, I don't watch a lot of television, and I regularly visit a place that doesn't have one at all. But this particular austerity measure cut me off from two of my favorite shows, "Royal Pains" on USA network and "Top Chef" on Bravo.

 

I tried to watch the former online, but, as you might guess, we don't have high-speed Internet at our house either so it was a frustrating effort. This is also a big difference between our family and many of the folks in the AP story.

 

"The chief cause appears to be persistently high unemployment and a housing market that has many people living with their parents, reducing the need for a separate cable bill," the story said.

 

Then it went on: "But it's also possible that people are canceling cable, or never signing up in the first place, because they're watching cheap Internet video."

 

Not surprisingly, the online viewing activity was most prevalent among people ages 18-34.

 

I fussed about missing my shows every now and then, usually when I'd read something complimentary about either show or knew another season was starting.

 

The first of this month, however, my husband made the call to get basic cable service back. I didn't know until that evening when it returned, and he told me.

 

Ironically, it was just in time to watch the debt-ceiling drama unfold and then the bottom fall out of the stock market and then bounce back a little.

 

We may be back to less-than-basic sooner rather than later if this keeps up. Until then, I'll enjoy.

 

Scott Clements has done it again. Scott is a former local and son of still-local Bernadette Sims.

 

What he's done again is receive another Emmy nomination for his sound work on the USA television program "Burn Notice."

 

I wrote a story about Scott in 2007 right after he'd finished his first season with the show. In 2008, he received an Emmy nomination for his work, but didn't win.

 

This nomination is for the same thing: Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (one hour) for the episode "Last Stand."

 

His mom says he will attend the ceremony in California in September.

Fitch Affirms Cox Enterprises and Cox Communications IDR at 'BBB'; Outlook Revised to Positive

Wireless News

04 August 2011

 

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

 

Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'BBB' Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Cox Enterprises (CEI) and its wholly owned subsidiary Cox Communications (CCI).

 

In addition, Fitch has affirmed the individual issue ratings of CEI and its subsidiaries (as outlined below). The Rating Outlook is revised to Positive from Stable. Approximately $10.5 billion of debt outstanding as of March 31, including $8.25 billion issued by CCI is affected. Lastly, Fitch has withdrawn the 'BBB' IDR and 'BBB' senior unsecured debt rating for Cox Radio, Inc. (CXR).

 

The ratings recognize the company's sound financial flexibility, as well as the solid operating profile and competitive position of the cable business. The ratings are also supported by the company's conservative financial policies and commitment to investment grade ratings. Further, the ratings recognize the diversification and market leading positions of CEI's businesses, while acknowledging that some of these businesses remain exposed to moderate cyclical and secular pressures. Fitch expects that CCI will generate the majority of CEI's consolidated revenues and cash flow, but notes that each of the company's segments is positioned to generate positive free cash flow over Fitch's ratings horizon. As a result, this incremental diversification of revenue and cash flow is a moderate benefit to CEI's credit profile.

 

The Positive Outlook reflects the improvement in credit protection metrics as a result of CEI's active debt reduction in recent years. The company has achieved its 2.5 times (x) leverage target (the company's calculated leverage was 2.3x at March 31,; Fitch estimates total debt/latest 12 months [LTM] EBITDA of 2.7x on this date). Fitch does not anticipate significant further debt reduction, although the Outlook incorporates Fitch's expectations that EBITDA growth will drive modest deleveraging going forward. Fitch believes that acquisitions will remain a part of the company's growth strategy as it seeks to grow and diversify its businesses. Fitch believes that acquisitions will be conducted within the context of achieving and maintaining the 2.5x leverage ratio, and that any transactions that result in leverage above this metric will be followed by a period of focused deleveraging.

 

Fitch's ratings reflect the size and strong competitive position of CCI, the company's largest business segment and the third-largest cable multiple system operator (MSO) in the U.S. Fitch expects CCI's operating profile, which generated nearly 87 percent of consolidated EBITDA, will have the greatest influence on CEI's credit profile. CCI's operating profile derives its strength from its formidable subscriber clustering profile in the company's primary markets, and growing revenue diversity due to the ongoing success of its commercial business. The competitive pressure associated with the service overlap among the different telecommunications service providers, while intense, is not expected to materially change during the ratings horizon. In Fitch's opinion, CEI's cable business, and the cable industry overall, has proven to be resilient to persistent competitive pressures and weak housing formation and employment markets.

 

The launch of a wireless business within CCI creates a quadruple play service offering and presents CCI with an opportunity to enhance its competitive position and grow revenues outside of its core cable business. Fitch expects that CCI's wireless service will be available to approximately 50 percent of its cable service area by the end of 2011. However, the execution risks surrounding the wireless business along with the related incremental capital and operating costs elevate the business risks associated with CCI's credit profile. Fitch acknowledges that CCI's decision to use a mobile virtual network operator model significantly mitigates the capital costs associated with the wireless business. In Fitch's opinion, the articulation of a 4G wireless network strategy becomes increasingly important as market leaders have accelerated 4G network deployments. Fitch expects that CCI's wireless business will contribute to the company's overall revenue growth profile during the ratings horizon, however, wireless revenues will constitute less than 5 percent of CCI's consolidated revenues by 2015.

 

Within the cable business, ratings concerns are centered on the company's ability to adapt to changing competitive dynamics and maintain its relative market position given the challenging competitive environment, and preserve operating margins in the face of the dilutive effects related to the company's wireless initiative and ongoing gross margin pressure stemming from rising programming costs. Fitch notes that there is sufficient capacity within the company's credit profile to accommodate short term pressure on operating margins.

 

The 'BBB' ratings incorporate the cyclical and secular challenges faced by CEI's non-cable related businesses. Cox Media Group has rebounded with the return to advertising growth but its organic growth profile remains challenged by continued pressures in newspapers and low organic growth prospects at radio and television. Manheim is expected to remain challenged through at least the next 12 months as the lagging effect of the downturn and credit crisis on used auto sales continues to cycle through. These are expected to be partially offset by continued organic growth at AutoTrader.com (ATC), as buyers continue to migrate to the internet, bolstered by recent acquisitions. Fitch expects ATC to remain acquisitive, funded either with incremental debt or equity contributions from its owners, with any activity easily accommodated in current ratings.

 

Overall, CEI's financial flexibility and liquidity position is solid considering the company's ability to generate consistent levels of free cash flow. During the last 12 month period ended March 31, CEI generated approximately $1.5 billion of free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and dividends). Fitch anticipates the company will generate consistent levels of free cash flow of at least $1 billion during the ratings horizon. Free cash flow will benefit from higher operating profits, partially offset by higher cash taxes due to the expected absence of tax benefits received in 2009 and 2010 associated with prior economic stimulus, as well as near-term pension funding obligations.

 

The liquidity position is supported by the company's $3.5 billion revolver, which as of March 31, had approximately $3.2 billion available for borrowing. CEI's and CCI's sub-limits under the facility were $500 million and $3 billion respectively as of March 31. Commitments under the revolver expire on July 25, 2014. CEI has the ability to access the cash flows from all of its subsidiaries (restricted or unrestricted) with the exception of ATC in accordance with the ATC credit agreement. CEI's credit agreement does not limit dividends from its unrestricted subsidiaries (CCI and ATC) as long as net leverage is below 5.0x. CCI paid dividends of $1.75 billion in 2008, and $500 million in 2009 and 2010, which the parent used to repay debt. Fitch expects CCI will continue to pay dividends to CEI that are in-line with 2010 levels.

 

CEI's maturity schedule is manageable and Fitch believes that the company has sufficient financial flexibility through expected free cash flow generation, available borrowing capacity from the revolver and capital market access to address the near-term maturities. Fitch expects that scheduled maturities will be refinanced as the company is operating at is 2.5x leverage target. There are no meaningful scheduled maturities for the balance of 2011. Maturities during 2012 total approximately $1 billion followed by $647 million during 2013 and $1.3 billion in 2014.

 

The ratings could be upgraded should all of the following occur: CEI's various media businesses continue to stabilize; the company maintains its financial policies, without a sustained increase in leverage from current levels; demonstration that CCI's wireless business has not materially negatively impacted its operating profile.

 

Negative ratings actions would occur in tandem with a change in the company's capital structure policy or an event such as a debt financed dividend or leveraging acquisition that would drive leverage higher than 3.75x for a sustained period of time. Additionally, ratings pressure could result should the capital requirements associated with CCI's wireless initiative exceed expectations and negatively affect the company's operating profile.

 

The Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of CEI and CCI are linked in accordance with Fitch criteria. This linkage essentially gives standalone CEI credit for cash flows achieved at the CCI and other subsidiary levels (with the exception of ATC), since there are no material restrictions on cash flows between the entities and common management. While no cross defaults or cross guarantees exist between the entities, Fitch believes that CCI's probability of default would be understated (rated higher) if it did not consider CEI's businesses and weaker credit profile. At the same time, Fitch believes it would overstate CEI's probability of default if the rating only incorporated the CEI businesses on a standalone basis and did not consider potential upstream cash flows CEI could access in distress.

 

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings with a Positive Outlook:

 

Cox Enterprises, Inc.

 

--IDR at 'BBB';

 

--Senior unsecured debt at 'BBB';

 

--Short-term IDR at 'F2';

 

--Commercial paper at 'F2'.

Cox Communications, Inc.

Cox Communications has been inducted into the Inside Business 'Best Places to Work - Hall of Fame.'
