Susane Newell

Newell tends to stand more behind the curtain than at center stage – and that’s the way she likes it. She negotiates carriage affiliation agreements on behalf of nearly 1K participating members serving 23 million NCTC subscribers – not a job for the faint of heart. She signed Comcast-NBCU at the Independent Show in San Francisco. “Women need to remember that our career is our canvas and as the artist, it is in own creative control to make it a masterpiece,” she says.
