Patty Boyers
Title: President/CEO, Boycom Communications
Years in Cable: 30
Education: University of Missouri/Columbia
Best Advice: Trust everyone, but brand your cattle and never take a knife to a gunfight.
Why Her? Boyers tells it like it is, and people listen to her because of it. Running a small traditional cable in rural America, she has testified before the Senate on the state of rural broadband and often becomes the face of the truly small and rural operator.

John, Paul, George or Ringo? None of the above, I’m an Elvis girl!
I wish Congress would just… go home and leave us alone!

My favorite newfound hobby: Writing a cookbook of my family’s favorite recipes, including history of our family, pictures, etc.
One thing I would do all the time if I could: Cook!
My ideal celebrity partner on Dancing with the Stars: John Wayne
Oscars or Grammys? Oscars

The last time I had a good laugh: Right now… reading these questions!

If someone forced me to cut the cord and only watch 3 over-the-top shows, they would be: Military Channel (now called the Hero Channel); Food Network and “Love or List It” on HGTV.
