In July 2006, Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc. engaged the services of two cable industry consultants, Cathy Rasenberger and Jeff Wayne, to assist the company in examining The Outdoor Channel’s positioning in the industry to uncover potential opportunities that could help expand the Channel’s leadership in its genre.
Cathy Rasenberger, President of Rasenberger Media, is a 25-year veteran of the cable industry. Prior to founding Rasenberger Media, Ms. Rasenberger was Senior VP Affiliate Sales and Marketing for The Food Network. Before joining The Food Network’s original launch team in 1993, Rasenberger held senior management positions at ESPN, TV Guide, Warner Bros. Television and Cablevision Magazine, among others.
Jeff Wayne, founder of Jeffrey C. Wayne LLC, provides consulting services to a broad range of media companies. Prior to founding Jeffrey C. Wayne LLC, Mr. Wayne was President of Great American Country, a country music network, and had previously served as President of the Food Network.
We look forward to working closely with these seasoned industry veterans.
