Following the announcement NYSE-CVC shares fell $2.50 per share to close at $17.02 per share.

Then on October 28, 2011, so the lawsuit, Cablevision Systems revealed that an additional 19,000 video subscribers had canceled their service and that Cablevision Systems was performing below expectations.
