Biography

After education and experience in radio and TV production and satellite communications, this ambitious, canny American cable executive, education and experience in radio and TV production and took charge of the small Madison Square Garden Sports Network. Instrumental in broadening the programming of the network (later rechristened USA Network), Kay Koplovitz has emerged as one of the most powerful women in cable TV. The USA Network has become the third largest cable service in terms of both revenues and subscribers, and Koplovitz (who signed a contract in the early 1990s which pays her well over $500,000 a year) has continued to bring to the "murder and mayhem" channel the strengths of ABC, CBS and NBC while exploring further ways to enhance its appeal.
