Cablevision stock down as cuts 2001 outlook

The key part of this article is:

    "The Long Island, N.Y.-based company also canceled the sale of $1 billion of preferred stock. It said it will evaluate its financing requirements for 2002 and consider various options to raise cash, including asset sales and borrowing against its credit facilities."
What marquee assets does Cablevision have? Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden. With such winners as The Scarlet Pimpernel, A Christmas Carol and The Wizard of Oz, I would not see any development money going toward new product in the near future.
