MTV Nets/BET Nets won’t be manning a booth at the Cable Show’s floor this year, suggesting that the show is no longer a key deal-making venue. Instead, networks are in contact with distributors all year long. They’re also spending on shows where they reach a mix of consumers and press. Still, plenty of other nets will be on the floor in Boston next month.
