S&P upgrades ION Media Networks

S&P said it raised the rating on ION Media Networks Inc. to BB- from B+, along with the rating on the company's revolving credit facility and term loan B due 2020 to BB-.

The 3 recovery rating is unchanged.

The outlook is stable.

The upgrades reflect a view that ION will maintain adjusted leverage less than the mid-4x range even as it periodically issues future dividends, S&P said.

The agency also said it expects ION to continue its strong operating performance and for the company to continue generating stronger-than-industry advertising revenue growth, the agency said.

The company also continued to effectively manage its programming costs, helping to sustain its high EBITDA margin, S&P said.
