Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Announces Investigation of Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC)

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Cablevision Systems Corp. (“Cablevision” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVC).  

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that:  (1) Cablevision was experiencing higher retention and advertising costs than the Company depicted; and (2) Cablevision was losing more video customers than expected, especially in the New York area – the Company’s main service area – due to strengthening competition.

On October 28, 2011, Cablevision announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2011. On that same day, Cablevision held a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss the earnings announcement and the Company’s operations, including the Company’s subscriber loss. In reaction to the Company’s announcement, the price of Cablevision stock fell $2.17 per share, or 13%, to close at $15.14 on heavy trading volume.
