For more than two decades, the Cablefax 100 set the standard for recognizing power and influence across the cable industry. The CFX 100 carries that legacy forward, spotlighting executives across the modern media and connectivity landscape, including operators, programmers, technology companies and emerging platforms.
“Today’s industry is defined by convergence—across content, distribution, technology and monetization,” said Amy Maclean, Editorial Director of CFX. “The CFX 100 reflects that reality, recognizing leaders who are not just navigating change, but actively shaping the future of how media is created, delivered and experienced.”
