NOW YOU'RE TALKING
You'll notice several changes in
this edition of CableFAX: The
Magazine's Diversity Issue.
First, instead of repeating the
standard bio profiles, we ask
most of the executives on our
lists about their jobs, companies
and interests. Their responses,
edited for space here
but available in full at our site,
make for interesting reading.
Knowing a person's views, career
challenges, even their drink
or cuisine of choice can help
build a relationship, which could
become a business advantage.
We also dispense with our traditional Top 50 ranked list. Instead
you'll see a ranked list of 75. This larger list coincides with an unusual
year, one where NAMIC and BET celebrate 30th anniversaries. We
thought those milestones deserved a slightly longer list.
As in years past, we've included unranked lists of influential
executives beyond the 75 (please see p.24), plus important regional
players (please see p.30).
You'd think compiling a list of 75 would be easier than making
one with 50 names. So did I; it was just as difficult.
Despite the paucity of minority executives in some of cable's
C-suites, there's an abundance of top-flight minority executives
throughout the industry. Many are included in these pages. Again
for space reasons, plenty of deserving people are not.
In what has become tradition, NAMIC and CableFAX will celebrate
this year's magazine and those in it during a Diversity Week breakfast
Sept 14 at the Hilton, NY. With diversity in cable still a partially
realized idea, we hope this magazine and the points raised during
the breakfast will provoke a deeper discussion about this important
issue and perhaps lead to some results.

A word of thanks to all who spent time nominating executives to appear
in these pages. Thanks, too, to those who helped us
secure interviews and photos.
Your efforts were invaluable.
