Mario Gabelli Comments on Viacom Inc.

- By Holly LaFon

Viacom Inc. (5.6%) (NASDAQ:VIA) (VIA - $36.55 - NASDAQ) is a pure-play content company that owns a global stable of cable networks, including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, BET, and the Paramount movie studio. Viacom's cable networks generate revenue from advertising sales, fixed monthly subscriber fees, and ancillary revenue from toy licensing, etc. We believe a low valuation and M&A potential outweigh the secular risks of cord-cutting.
