CASH COW CEOs

Cable World, June 26, 2000 by K.C. Neel

James Dolan. James Dolan joined Cablevision more than 20 years ago and has held various operating and programming posts, becoming CEO in 1995. Of course, he had cable in his blood as the son of Cablevision founder Charles Dolan.

Unlike other MSOs, which have been trying to build size through acquisitions, Cablevision concentrates its efforts on one market. The company jettisoned all but its New York metro markets systems last year and is concentrating exclusively on Gotham. Investors like the Dolans' ideas. Cablevision's stock has risen from about $15 a share in 1997 to $67.69 on June 8 (prices adjusted for stock splits).
