Steven Tananbaum: At Current Prices, Traditional Media Stocks Offer 'Great Opportunities'

In a preview, this Sunday's Wall Street guest Steve Tananbaum looked at the traditional media sector and highlighted that the selloff in the general sector – somehow related to Walt Disney Co DIS’s ESPN’s poor performance – seems unjustified, especially when the trends and secular changes are taken into account.

Given the unjustified selloff, the investor added, GoldenTree Asset Management sees some “great opportunities” ahead.

So, broadly speaking, whether it is Time Warner Inc TWX or even Tribune Media Co TRCO, Tananbaum remains positive.

He explained that through Tribune, “Something we know from the bankruptcy, and they basically split their publishing and their TV operations – and the TV is the operations we are focused on, we think it [...] is a great value today, relative to what it was called a month or six weeks ago.”

To conclude, Tananbaum said he continues to think traditional media still offers great value at today’s prices, despite the scare this summer from the surge of “cord-cutting.”
