One day does not a trend make, so it was no big deal that traders took some profits on the last day of 2009. The good news was that there were profits to take. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up nearly 19% for the year, but for the day Thursday it fell 120 points, or 1.1%, to 10,428. Broadcasting stocks capped off huge gains for the year with the RBR Radio Index moving up to finish 2009 at its high point for the year and the TVBR Television  Index pulling back just a bit from the year-to-date high set the previous session.


The RBR Radio Index was up 7.429, or 3.7%, to 208.204.

The TVBR Television Index was down 0.308, or 0.2%, to 134.080.
