Natpe Soldiers On

Rick Feldman expects that attendance and exhibitions will be down at the Nation- al Association of Television Program Executives confab, to be held Jan. 26-29 in Las Vegas. But the association's president and CEO says the show will go on, despite the bite the economic crisis is taking out of the business. "For me, nothing is acceptable except trying to grow," Feldman said last week. "All of us want to try to grow our businesses every year, and it's hard to see them not grow. "In the near term, there's no growth among traditional legacy businesses. There's growth from online and mobile businesses, but growth from those businesses isn't enough to make up for the losses at legacy businesses, which is a net minus. That net minus is something I have to live with. What's acceptable? Nothing, but I have to live with it. I can't control it."
