GCI shares slammed by TV revenue warning

Gannett's stock plunged a whopping 5.2% today, closing at a new 10-year low -- $37.49 a share -- after the company warned fourth-quarter TV revenue would lag results from a year ago. The company's market cap (its ballpark value to a buyer) sank below the crucial $9 billion mark for the first time in years. Gannett's warning spread across the newspaper sector, dragging down shares of other publishers as well. It was a brutal day.
