Multichannel News, the noted cable television industry publication, has named Sun Sports and Fox Sports Net Florida VP/GM Cathy Weeden as one of their 12 "Wonder Women" for 2006.
Orlando-based Sun counts some 6.1 million subscribers, while FSN Florida, located in Sunrise, is home to 5.1 customers. In the profile in the magazine’s Jan. 30 issue, it notes that if running two of the nation’s largest regional sports television networks wasn’t enough of a challenge, Weeden is facing personal challenges as well. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in December.
Weeden will be honored at the "Wonder Women 2006" luncheon presented by Multichannel News and Women in Cable & Telecommunications’ New York chapter on March 7 at the Marriott Marquis in New York.
