CFX Announces the 2026 CFX Top Ops Honorees
Twenty organizations and executives recognized for delivering real results across today’s convergent media and connectivity landscape.
New York, NY — September 29, 2026 — CFX, the business journal for convergent media, today announced the 2026 CFX Top Ops honorees, recognizing the operators, executives, and organizations leading the convergent era.
This year’s class spans the full breadth of the industry, from network infrastructure and fiber expansion to streaming innovation, ad tech, mobile, and community investment. Honorees include Charter Communications (Convergence Champion), Mediacom (Tier 1 Operator of the Year), and Buckeye Broadband (Smaller Operator of the Year), among twenty operators, executives and organizations recognized across connectivity, content, and technology.
This year’s program also presents the Founders Circle Award, CFX Top Ops’ highest honor, posthumously to Rocco B. Commisso, founder and former Chairman and CEO of Mediacom Communications. Commisso built Mediacom from his basement into the nation’s fourth-largest cable provider, championing service to smaller markets long overlooked by the industry. His legacy of operational excellence and belief that every community deserves world-class connectivity continues to shape the industry today.
