Mark Greenberg
Title: President/CEO, EPIX
Years in Cable: 30+

Columbia University
Best Advice: Never take " no " for an answer.
Greenberg's groundbreaking deals with Sony
PlayStation3, Microsoft, Xbox, Amazon Prime Instant
Video, and Verizon Redbox are signal a new
era for how content is delivered and enjoyed.
Meanwhile, a carriage agreement with Time
Warner Cable will dramatically expand EPIX's
footprint, and the network is already a leader in
TV Everywhere. This could be epic.

which is now plugged into my Xbox, PS4 and
Roku consoles as well as my cable box.
The biggest innovation in cable over the
last year: Programming apps on devices
have hit a meaningful threshold.
