Congrats to this year's CableFAX 100 honorees, many of whom were on hand in NYC Thurs for our annual CableFAX 100 luncheon. An industry panel turned to subjects ranging from reaching the youth market to content piracy to how business schools might help us avoid another financial meltdown in the future (TV Guide Network pres Ryan O'Hara noted that the last year will yield plenty of useful case studies for future business leaders to digest). Meanwhile, the room was at rapt attention as WE tv pres/gm Kim Martin took the stage to accept the Social Action award for the net's great work with its WE Empowers Women and WE Volunteer initiatives. It was also especially nice to see the late Bill Bresnan's brother Pat on hand. Meanwhile, IFC's Whitest Kids U'Know comedy troupe took the stage to rattle off a litany of reasons why they--not the CableFAX 100--are the real innovators, even shoving Exec Editor Michael Grebb from the podium to do it. Oh, you had to be there, folks. Check out the 2009 CableFAX 100 magazine online at: http://www.cablefaxmag-digital.com/cablefaxmag/cablefax200912#pg1
