Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | NO TE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company's marketable equity securities and interest rate swap are measured at fai r value on each reporting date. Marketable Equity Securities The marketable equity securities are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets. Due to the fact that the inputs used to measure the marketable equity securities at fair value are observable, the Company has categorized the fair value measurements of the securities as Level 1 in accordance with ASC 820-10-35. The Company records i t s investments in these marketable equity securities on the balance sheet as “Other assets.” The cost, unrealized holding gains or losses, and fair value of the Company's investments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:
(In thousands) | September 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Cost | $ | 625 |  | $ | 5,207
Gross unrealized losses |  | - |  |  | -
Gross unrealized gains |  | 334 |  |  | 106,220
Fair value | $ | 959 |  | $ | 111,427
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company sold shares of Sirius XM Radio, Inc. held by it for $135.5 million, recognizing a gain on the sale of securities of $130.9 million. Interest Rate Swap Agreement The Company previously entered into a $2.5 billion notional amount interest rate swap agreement t o effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The interest rate swap agreement matured on September 30, 2013. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge with the effective portion of the gain or loss on the swap reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedging derivative's change in fair value are recognized currently in earnings. In accordance with ASC 815-20-35-9, as the critical terms of the swap and the floating-rate debt being hedged were the same at inception and remained the same during the current period, no ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The swap agreement was valued using a discounted cash flow model taking into account the present value of the future cash flows under the terms of the agreement by using market information available as of the reporting date, including prevailing interest rates and credit spread. Due to the fact that the inputs were either directly or indirectly observable, the Company classified the fair value measurements of its swap agreement as Level 2 in accordance with ASC 820-10-35. The fair value of the Company's $2.5 billion notional amount interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument and recorded in “Other current liabilities” was $76.9 million at December 31, 2012. There was no liability at September 30, 2013 because the swap matured on September 30, 2013. The following table details the beginning and ending accumulated other comprehensive loss and the current period activity related to the interest rate swap agreement:
(In thousands) | Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Balance at December 31, 2012 | $ | 48,180
