She's got Game Show

摘要

By industry standards, the Game Show Network is one of cable's middling networks, counting about 45 million subscribers. But to Anne Droste, the net's senior vice presi-dent of affiliate relations, Game Show is a giant. When she arrived at Game Show in 1994, few cable systems offered the channel and only a handful more had heard of it. "We had between 3 million and 5 million subscribers and no major MSO deals," says Droste, who has been head of sales and affiliate marketing since 1998. The young Game Show Network did boast an upside, though, she says: "It had the most full programming schedule I'd ever seen. There weren't even any infomercials."
