Jeffrey M. King has been appointed President and CEO of Road Runner, the national provider of high-speed online services to cable systems across the country. The appointment, announced by Glenn A. Britt, President of Time Warner Cable, takes place simultaneously with the announcement of the restructuring of the ownership of the Road Runner service by its partners, Time Warner Cable and AT&T.

Jeff's selection to run Road Runner is a powerful signal of Time Warner Cable's strong commitment to growing this business. We also thank Bill Gordon for his many contributions in helping build Road Runner to its present high level of success and we appreciate his willingness to stay on during the transition to help Jeff off to a strong start."

He also was Division President of the Charlotte, NC, division starting in 1984, having working in cable system management since joining the company in 1972. A native of Indiana, King attended Indiana State University.
