English to German Bus/Financial Journalism Wirtschaftsjournalismus

Artikel in einer Wirtschaftszeitung, in dem es um die bevorstehende Verkleinerung des Time-Warner-Konzerns geht. Könnte man das hier wörtlich übersetzen - "Die Kabel kappen"? Oder vielleicht eher: "Das Ende der Kabelsparte"?


***Cutting the cable***

Does a break-up make sense? “I believe strongly in trial and error, and Time Warner needs to move faster, take more risk and change course more often,” says Mr Bewkes. If he got rid of cable, AOL's access business and Time Inc, he would be left with two movie studios, some highly desirable cable channels and an online-advertising business. Together these units' revenues amount to a little over half of Time Warner's total. The good news, says a rival media executive, is that Time Warner would be a cleaner company and its share price would go up; but “the bad news is that he's a much smaller company and potentially vulnerable to takeover.”
