And they have been wrong this year-

At least two influential Wall Street analysts just cut their earnings estimates for CBS citing lower-than-expected ratings for NFL Thursday Night Football, which replaced conventional series in the first two months of the primetime season. All but two of the matches were “dull blow-outs,” helping to make the series “slightly loss-making” in relation to CBS’ highly profitable regular lineup, MoffettNathanson Research’s Michael Nathanson says today. He lowered his full year earnings per share estimate by 10 cents to $3.10, citing the results among other factors. Yesterday RBC Capital Markets’ David Bank dropped his earnings forecast for CBS by 27 cents to $3.07, in part because the Thursday football ratings “were not quite as strong as we hoped.”
