Stock price when the opinion was issued
Since last summer there has been a recession in advertising for television and this has been a problem for Chorus.

It sold its animation studio to help reduce debt load but debt is still pretty high. The stock is too risky.
He shorts companies that show a downward trend. This company has been going down for quite a while. The business model for independent channels has been difficult and he doesn’t see a reason for that to change soon. They did a big dividend cut. Tax loss season is coming which will put further downward pressure on the stock.
