Fed chief Ben Bernanke testified before a Senate committee on the continuing unemployment problem and other “unusually uncertain” prospects for the US economy. That dour assessment sent stock prices lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 109 points, or 1.1%, to 10,121. Broadcasting stocks were down as well.
The RBR Radio Index was down 1.275, or 0.5%, to 259.106.
The TVBR Television Index was down 9.313, or 5.2%, to 170.543.
