S&P cuts Mediacom Communications

Standard & Poor's said it lowered its ratings on Mediacom Communications Corp. and related entities. The corporate credit rating was lowered to BB- from BB, and the senior unsecured debt ratings were lowered to B from B+.

The bank loan rating on the senior secured credit facility of Mediacom Broadband Group was lowered to BB- from BB+, and a recovery rating of 2 was assigned to the facility. The bank loan ratings on the senior secured credit facilities of Mediacom Midwest Group and Mediacom USA Group were lowered to BB from BB+. A recovery rating of 1 was assigned to these facilities.

The outlook is stable.

"The downgrades are based on concerns about Mediacom's weakened business profile, reflected by a 4.4% year-over-year loss of basic video subscribers as of June 30, 2004, compared with 1.4% a year earlier," noted S&P credit analyst Eric Geil.
