Time Warner, TWC Report Q4 Losses on Writedowns

NEW YORK Time Warner and Time Warner Cable on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter losses on $24.2 billion in impairment writedowns to account for the lowered value of  assets.

TW, which expects to soon spin off TWC, also projected a 2009 profit for its remaining content businesses of 66 cents per share.

Meanwhile, TWC president and CEO Glenn Britt — in one of the most clearly worded such comments from a cable industry leader to date — said that his firm is feeling the impact of the recession, even though it performs better than many other businesses in this environment.
