What drew you to cable? “When I made the move from broadcast TV to cable many years ago, it was a brave new world that attracted real risk-takers. We embraced change, and weren’t afraid to break rules as soon as we made them up. I find that same pioneering spirit invaluable…and exhilarating… in navigation today’s ever-changing media landscape.”
Opportunities for young women: “The same thing young men need to know. 😉 Opportunities are gifts… you should never feel entitled and never take them for granted.”
Juggling busy days: “Multi-tasking can be a surefire way to botch a lot of things simultaneously. The real trick is knowing how to prioritize.”
