RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 76, is a strong buy recommendation based on Metropole Television's financial characteristics.

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 13, is a sell recommendation for growth and momentum investors. The good news from the invested capital side is surprising.
