Concentration Of Risk

Note 10. Concentration of Risk Financial Instruments

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash is invested in money market funds and bank time deposits. The Company monitors the financial institutions and money market funds where it invests its cash and cash equivalents with diversification among counterparties to mitigate exposure to any single financial institution. The Company's emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and liquidity and secondarily on maximizing the yield on its investments.

Customers

Two customers accounted for the following percentages of the Company's revenues, net:

     The Company's programming networks have affiliation agreements that expire at various dates through 2018. Failure to renew affiliation agreements with the Company's largest customers, or renewal on less favorable terms, or the termination of those agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. A reduced distribution of the Company's programming networks would adversely affect the Company's affiliation fee revenue, and impact the Company's ability to sell advertising or the rates the Company charges for such advertising.

     At June 30, 2012, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's net trade receivable balances.
