97. Mark Kang
By
| October 1, 2013
SVP, Worldwide Distribution, The Inspiration Networks
It’s been a record-breaking year for Inspiration Networks, and Kang’s hard work contributed mightily to the bounty. Although a media landscape increasingly dominated by conglomerates can make the outlook tenuous for independent networks, INSP gained more than 5 million subscribers, breaking the 75 million benchmark. Kang’s tenacity might be stem from his time playing on the U.S. Championship Team for Ultimate Frisbee, but his heart is in cable. He left the industry to work as an talent agent years back, then returned to cable because he missed it so much.
