Cablevision's earnings statement comes a day after the company said it will purchase the Sundance Channel for $496 million from General Electric (GE Quote - Cramer on GE - Stock Picks), CBS (CBS Quote - Cramer on CBS - Stock Picks) and entities controlled by the channel's founder Robert Redford. The cable network will become part of Cablevision's Rainbow Media.
