Central European Media sees its credit rating cut
Article Abstract:
Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. found its corporate credit rating cut by the Ratings Group of Standard & Poor due to a riskier financial status than earlier expected. The company runs television stations throughout Eastern Europe. Standard & Poor's Michael Crehan noted that the company is now going through problems in Poland which resulted in the lower rating. However, Crehan believes that Central European Media can post a better performance considering the market potential of Eastern Europe.
