CNBC: SSP... Media and job related..

(no I didn't forget the 4th letter (I) with this one)

Today whilst exercising.. (nothing as major as a heavy duty bike ride.. they had the CEO of EW Scripps - a cute little broadcasting/media play.

They are into newspapers, cable & satellite, interest in sports broadcasting, stations like Food TV and HGTV [their star of late] (US versions - not Canuck CRTC controlled knock offs) etc. I just love watching stories about companies like them - 126 years in business. Good growth. $105US mind you so it isn't on my radar. Nonetheless.

On the jobs, a minor comment, Joe asked about the want ads (good barometer on jobs) - and the CEO defintely felt there was a positive move with increased wanted ads of late.

Here is where I differ with Buffett on not splitting stocks. Yes they do (should) have zero impact to the value of the stock (though splits give a little pop up and consolidations cause a gush down), but the material impact is the small investor.

Perhaps at 3:1 or 4:1 split, I would be tempted into moving into this company. I dumped Time Warner of late - I think the growth for them is over. SSP would fit the bill - under the radar, diversified, reinventing themselves, great history and on and on..

1 year..
