One of the biggest issues facing cable operators this year is the upcoming round of retransmission consent negotiations. To help IAMU members navigate the minefield of these sometimes heated discussions, the IAMU Fall Broadband Meeting will feature two experts in the field.
Retransmisson consent will be the topic of the opening session of the Fall Broadband Meeting on September 23, 2014 at the IAMU Office and Training Complex in Ankeny. Leading the discussion will be Chris Cinnamon and Ross Lieberman, both of whom are well-versed on the topic of working with broadcasters.
Chris Cinnamon founded Cinnamon Mueller in 2000. With offices in Chicago, DC, and St. Louis, the firm serves as outside counsel to the American Cable Association and focuses its practices on serving small and medium-sized cable and broadband providers throughout the US. Chris represents clients before the FCC, state and local regulatory bodies, and advises clients on a wide range of cable-related regulatory and transactional matters. He speaks frequently on topics including broadcast signal carriage, local cable franchise matters, and issues of particular concern to smaller market cable operators. Chris is a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School (cum Laude) and Williams College (highest honors). Before attending law school, Chris served in the United States Navy, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Commander and accumulating over 1,500 flight hours and 200 carrier landings, most in the F-14 Tomcat.
Ross Lieberman is the Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for the American Cable Association (ACA).
