Today’s content centered about broadband with NCTA’s President and CEO Kyle McSlarrow interviewing FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. The early morning exchange was cordial and eye opening in the aspect that these two forces still have a great amount of work to do in making America more broadband literate. A word that kept being used today was “adoption.” [...]

 I've spent my entire professional life as a television network publicity and corporate communications executive at such places as Fox, GSN and Lifetime TV. I get a rush dealing with live broadcasts, tight deadlines and press conferences. I think I enjoy my job so much because I love working with the press. In addition to all that, I enjoy being an industry blogger and a social media expert and leading my own consulting firm in Los Angeles.

With over 15 million people unemployed, I think the time has come for a Job Search TV Channel or Job Search on VOD. Heck, I’ll take just fours hours of programming a week if that’s what is possible at the start. I whispered this idea to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and a few others yesterday and they all loved it too. But, I think it’s high time we help those in desperate need of employment with information that makes them more valuable to the market. [...] My thoughts from the opening day lie mostly with this thought — Cable is a charitable industry. [...] Chernin threw out a heavy piece of artillery at the start. He asked what his disappointments have been. Roberts thought he was a bit slow on the dime in the content area. He wished he had made investments 20 years ago in cable companies like Turner or Discovery. [...] I’m an official member of the press at the NCTA’s “The Cable Show.” Whoot! Whoot! I am in my element and I’m all smiles. It feels so great to back with all my friends again…I’ve spent over 15 years with some of these folks and I haven’t seen them for over two years. It is absolutely wonderful. [...] Well cable has “Mad Men” and it also has “Money Men.” Kudos to LA Times Reporter Meg James for her story today based on the results of a Los Angeles Times survey that listed compensation packages doled out to C-level media and entertainment executives. The figures these heads of entertainment corporations received was eye-opening and it also was perfectly timed to make an impact as the cable convention begins this week in LA. A majority of the men making these incredible salaries will be here in town, earning their money. [...] Next week I will be reporting from THE CABLE SHOW – the cable industry’s annual convention sponsored by the NCTA. The conference rotates every year and this year it’s in our backyard – Los Angeles. I couldn’t be more thrilled to rub elbows with my fellow members of the press and former cable colleagues again next week – it’s been too long. I plan on reporting every day – Monday through Friday – regarding observations while at the conference. [...] |
