Price level is too high compared to other media companies.

They are our local cable company... they will lose business to other competitors such as dish network and direct TV... customer service is the absolute worst i have ever seen and the accounting must be a nightmare becuase not only have they lost money, they try to "credit" its customers for there errors... Our "fixed" rate of service seems to vary month to month which is bad business... we would leave them on our own if we could get a dish, but our apartment is surround by trees... alot of folks don't like them. they have a monolopy that won't last.
also the current trend looks to quickly reverse as it seems like shareholders want to get out of this nightmare...
this isn't a value company worth investing in... its garbage and management is incompetent! stay away!

This company is over leveraged. When it comes the next refinancing it will file chapter 11.

This stock in the service sector and the broadcasting & cable tv industry. The revenue that ended in December of 2007 was increased 7% and the net loss decreased 24% and the revenues reflect increased income from data, video, advertising and phone services. Lower loss of gain on sales of cable systems, a decreased in other expenses and the absence of loss on early extinguishment of debt.

As of close of business on 12/04/2007, this was a 5-star Morningstar stock that was trading below half of it's Morningstar fair value.

They are a few years off from growing enough to being able to justify the current stock price, and that requires them to actually make it those few years, to much debt, barely any cash, and payables are far greater than receivables.

Looks cheap time for a bottom.

Impressive debt load, losing money.

Generally, the cable business tends to be a good one with steady cash flows and limited competition; unfortunately, Mediacom is suffering from waning subscriber numbers, poor customer service, and weak cash flows; all this, and a monster debt load that keeps growing; sure-fire recipes for underperformance.

Everybody in Iowa is dropping this service ASAP - Especially those in rural areas. Take your money now and run while you can!

I live in a market with Mediacom services, lots of people have them but absolutely nobody likes them. Way overpriced services and horrible customer service. Local CBS station is ending Medicoms contract to carry their station, that station is paying people to switch from Greediacom to DirectTV and runs commercial ads for it all the time.

3 billion in debt...hmmmmm.....
