Big Up and Down for Broadcast Stocks

0

ChartMost of the stocks followed on the RBR Index and sister TVBR Index had a good week, and very few suffered a dip in value. But for one radio company, it was an outstanding week, and for another, anything but.


The companies are the two biggest in the business.

Cumulus was the winner, gaining $0.61 to $4.09 to skyrocket up 17.5%.

You’ve already guessed that this is bad news for iHeart, which went down 20.3%.

For almost all other companies, it was a positive week. Only two others lost money, and we’ll let you play a brief game of Where’s Negative Waldo to find them on the charts below.

Other than that, and a flat week for Saga, the week was very positive.

Here’s a look at how it went down on The Street.
