Viacom Earnings Hurt By Nickelodeon Issues (B&C)
Lower ratings at networks including Nickelodeon contributed to lower earnings for Viacom's first fiscal quarter. Multichannel News: Overall revenue was up 3 percent in the period to $3.95 billion, and operating income was down 2 percent to $1.01 billion. Net income was down 5 percent to $591 million in the period ended Dec. 31, but earnings per share were up 4 percent to $1.06.

NYT Co. Sees Drop In Earnings But 20 Percent Rise In Digital Subs (paidContent)
Higher online circulation was a small bright spot in an otherwise gloomy earnings report for The New York Times Co., which is still looking for a CEO who can implement a comprehensive digital strategy. Business Insider / Silicon Alley Insider: The New York Times Co. reported its fourth-quarter earnings Thursday, and it lost $39.7 million in 2011, or 27 cents per share, after making $107.7 million in 2010. Q4 profit is down 12.2 percent year-over-year thanks to the continuing decline of print advertising and a 67.4 percent decline in the About Group's operating profit, which also saw a 25.7 percent decrease in quarterly ad revenues year-over-year. Boston Globe: The New York Times Co. said it has agreed to sell one-third of its remaining stake in the group that owns the Boston Red Sox for $30 million. AllThingsD: The New York Times Co. ended 2011 with 390,000 digital subscribers, up about 20 percent from its third-quarter total.
