S&P: Citizens unchanged

Standard & Poor's said its ratings and outlook on Citizens Communications Co. (BB+/negative) are not affected by the company's recently announced $200 million stock repurchase program.

The agency said that it is comfortable that leverage will remain within the parameters of the current rating, even after share repurchases over the next year, although the company will have less financial flexibility in the event that operations deteriorate materially.
