Cablefax The Magazine - November 2010 - 30

More of The Most Powerful Women in Cable
Certainly, our greatest asset as
programmers is brand-defining
originals across all mediums. "
Michelle Rice
EVP, Afiliate Sales and
Marketing, TV One
In her role as head of distribution,
Rice led TV One past the
50 million subscriber mark
earlier this year.
Most Proud of: " Aside from
my kids Myles and Sydney both
making the honor roll first semester,
I am very proud of my
team. TV One hit a major distribution
milestone this year...
we don't have the negotiating
leverage, large staff, and budgets
of some of the larger cable
network groups. However, we
are holding our own because
we have a quality product and
a strong value proposition. The
year is not over yet, so I think
the best is yet to come for TV
One. Stay tuned! "
Best Business Book
Read: " Good to Great: Why
Some Companies Make The
Leap... And Others Don't by
Jim Collins "
Best Business Book:
" Positioning: The Battle for Your
Mind by Al Ries and Jack Trout.
This book has been around for
some time, but the message is
even more relevant today. With
the fragmentation of media, it
has become even more critical
to create a distinct position for
your brand in the mind of the
consumer, regardless of the
platform. "
Jessica Rodriguez
SVP/GM, BBC Worldwide
Latin America and U.S.
Hispanic

brand-building initiatives like

80 million homes. We also

with great heritage. "
Favorite Gadget: " The
DVR. There is so much great
television today, and although

my DVR allows me to catch
all of my favorite shows each

Pass? Everything from drama
series to reality-Mad Men,
Boardwalk Empire, Curb Your
Enthusiasm, Glee, Jersey
Shore and The Real Housewives
of New Jersey. "
cablefaxmag.com
Serve the Hispanic
Market: " It requires an
understanding that individual
households can cut across
multiple generations and
levels of acculturation. Cable
needs to be able to provide
quality content that runs from
niche to mainstream, from acculturated
to less acculturated,
and that emphasizes language
and culture connections at
affordable pricing points. "
One Word to Describe
Yourself: " Resilient "
B by Stan Slap. Well beyond
leadership 'skills,' it makes

platforms have completely
changed the way we communicate
about Comcast. The news
cycle is now 24 hours, seven
days a week, with many different
channels and ways to communicate
to many audiences.
The rapid pace and new formats
enable us to quickly reach

YouTube, Twitter etc. "
