Decent Q2 overshadowed by Moonves allegations

Results were led by strong affiliate fee growth, up 17% YoY, with content licensing up 4% and advertising up 2%, helped by the Network Ten acquisition. The management team has done a great job in diversifying away from advertising revenues which this quarter accounted for just 38% of the total. Overall revenue was in line, with OI three points ahead and EPS $0.02 ahead at $1.12.
