Nominations Due: Friday, April 28
Help Cablefax compile this influential list of MSOs and Independent Operators by nominating the companies and executives you think should be included in our annual list of leading providers.
Cablefax Top Ops recognize excellence in a variety of areas, including marketing, technology, finance, lifetime achievement, customer service and community involvement. NEW for 2023: Our Top Ops magazine will recognize a Fiber Provider of the Year, celebrating a 100% fiber network provider. Nominations are open to all distributors. It’s free to enter – but you must submit your entries by April 28.
Honorees will be profiled in the August issue of Cablefax: The Magazine. The Independent Operator of the Year Award (IOY) is presented in conjunction with ACA and NCTC—and the IOY Award is presented at the July Independent Show.

MSO of the Year
Recognizes a large Multiple System Operator that had a noteworthy year. That could be record financials, M&A, new product launches, customer experience innovations or more. There’s something about this operator that made the stand out from the pack.
Independent Operator of the Year
This annual honor is bestowed on a smaller, typically regional operator that is blazing a trail and getting noticed in their footprint and beyond.
Fiber Provider of the Year
New this year, this award recognizes the operator of a 100% fiber network who is transforming broadband for customers.

ESG MVP
This award honors an initiative, company or individual who has significantly moved the needle when it comes to reducing carbon footprint, saving energy and protecting the environment.
Community Builder

Lifetime Achievement Award
Celebrating an executive who has made contributions that have had an impact far beyond their own organization.
Technology Executive of the Year
This person knows node splits, XGS-PON, DOCSIS 4.0 and more, and they are putting that expertise to use to put their company on the cutting edge.
HR Executive of the Year
Finance Executive of the Year
The Cablefax Regional Rainmakers honors the operators, programmers, executives, associations and lobbyists who are making outstanding contributions at local and/or regional levels – be it in operations, affiliate sales, news and sports programming, state legislation, lobbying and more. Nothing informs, entertains and helps develop a community like regional media – and ours is the only benchmarking program to celebrate those who are leading this very special charge.
These Awards will showcase the professionals who are harnessing and growing that influence, enriching their neighborhoods at the same time.
