GET READY TO SOLVE A FEW MYSTERIES AS SCRIPPS NETWORKS PRESENTS POSITIVELY CABLE 2005: CSI: BROADBAND

Comcast's Brad Dusto and Time Warner Cable's Tom Feige Serve as 2005 Honorary Event Chairs

DENVER, CO - July 12, 2005
Mark your calendars now for one of cable's most hilarious evenings: the Denver Chapter of Cable Positive will present Positively Cable 2005: "CSI Broadband" Nov. 10 at The Cable Center in Denver. This will be the eleventh edition of the organization's annual musical satire of cable industry shenanigans, which has raised more than $600,000 to date.

This year's show will solve a couple of hot cases using the dancing and singing talents of many high-profile cable industry detectives, plus the gifted forensic performers of Rave Reviews. They'll analyze some of the cable industry's most incriminating evidence, including:

  • high-definition fiber optic residue in Colorado
  • competitive ballistics reports in California
  • Verizon fingerprints all over the place

The 2005 honorary event chairs are Brad Dusto, president, Comcast Corporation, West Division, and Tom Feige, president, Time Warner Cable, National Division. Other honorary committee members are: Colleen Abdoulah, president and CEO, WOW! Internet & Cable; Scott Binder, SVP, Comcast Colorado; William J. Bresnan, president and CEO, Bresnan Communications; Ann Carlsen, founder and CEO, Carlsen Resources; Ron Cooper, president and COO, Adelphia Communications; Deborah A. Egner, SVP, Affiliate Operations & Point of Sale, Starz Entertainment Group; Mike Lovett, COO, Charter Communications; Paul Maxwell, columnist, CableFAX Daily and CableFAX CableWorld; Rob Stoddard, SVP Communication and Public Affairs, NCTA; Ruth Tatom, VP Affiliate Sales West Division, Scripps Networks; Gary Traver, SVPand COO, Comcast Media Center; and Steve Villano, president and CEO, Cable Positive.

Event co-chairs for this year's event are Jane Shanley of Batmann Consulting and Erica Stull of Adelphia Communications.

"We'd like to continue our 10-year streak of record-setting fundraising with this year's edition of Positively Cable," said Stull. "After raising more than $144,000 last year, we realize we've set a lofty goal, but with the continued support of the industry, we're confident we can exceed last year's total donation."

Funds raised support the national efforts of Cable Positive as well as Denver HIV/AIDS support organizations Rainbow House and Mi Casa. The Volunteers of America Rainbow House provides services designed to meet the unique needs of families living with HIV/AIDS, specifically those with young children. Mi Casa strives to educate Denver-area youth to avoid negative risk behaviors and to improve their outlook for the future.

In addition to the show, donated items are purchased by attendees through a silent auction, with proceeds benefiting Cable Positive's work.
