摘要

While he may not have the name cachet of a CEO, Hopkins is a major power broker in the business. In charge (among other things) of all distribution for News Corp.'s domestic television assets, Hopkins is in charge of everything from battling with stations, satellite and cable companies on issues like retrans and carriage to dictating the terms of when Fox decides to license its content to a new media player. Given Fox's brash stance in many of these dealings, Hopkins has become a big-time player.
