VP, Programming
NCTC
As VP of programming for NCTC, Newell negotiates carriage agreements for the group’s 1,000 members and 23 million subscribers. In fact, she’s inked carriage and retrans deals totaling more than $20 billion. Aside from mentoring women and working with children’s organizations, Newell says she tries zealously to pursue her “Life’s To-Do Wish List.” Some past wish-list excursions have included freefalling at 10,600 feet, sky diving and hot air ballooning. Next up is a trip to visit her niece, a Peace Corps volunteer in Mozambique.
