It wouldn't be quite accurate to say that Marc Nathanson is typical of the special breed of people who've built cable into what it is today. Cable people are distinguished by their variety and diversity, even, on occasion, by their eccentricity. It's no accident that Ted Turner is one of our founding fathers. But if Marc Nathanson isn't typical. As someone who started his media career in cable, whose outlook and expectations were formed there, I'm tremendously proud of my association with the people and spirit of this industry.
Cable is where the future began.
Thanks to our shared heritage, and thanks to leaders like Marc Nathanson, cable will continue to be an agent of transforming change in the century ahead.
