How does this work?

Assumptions
Revenue: Reuters aggregates 17 analysts covering $VIA and these produce mean estimates of 2008 and 2009 revenues of US$14.8 billion and US$15.4 billion respectively. For our analysis we have used US$14.5 billion in 2008, US$14.75 billion in 2009 and US$15.0 billion in 2010.
Profitability: We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 22.5% to 2010. Reuters has $VIA’s EBITD margin at 53.7% last year (which looks an anomaly) and averaging 27.8% over the last five-years.
Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of US$300.0 million in 2008 then US$250.0 million per annum moving forward.
Discount Rate: 11.0%.
Terminal Growth Rate: 1%.
Viacom is in trouble - but this assumes that Sumner Redstone's issues don't impact the company more than they already have.
