re Broadcasting/TV stocks. Decided to buy some TVL in my search for uncommon values. TVL is a TV company with presence in the US and Puerto Rico, the latter i found the most interesting after musing how the demographics favor UVN. Stock is cheap by some but not all metrics.

Positives are
+ FCF around 70M$ for Y2004
+ TVL has been reducing debt
+ increasing operational efficiency
+ revenue growth bolstered by demographics
+ trading near 52 week low
- major shareholder controls destiny
- 630M$ in debt
- risk of committing capital to unproductive acquisitions
- no dividend
- odd years are weak years

In the end i found that the FCF of 70M$ with a market cap of 900M$ appears like a good deal. I established a full position today. I also start to research other broadcasting stocks since many are trading near lows i believe there is value there. Please note that the yahoo numbers (key statistics) for TVL are off.
