JOHN OF ALL TRADES
JOHN
GDOVIN
EVP & CAO
Astound Broadband
Gdovin is always ready for a new challenge, and
there is no negotiation, regulatory battle or HR
obstacle that he's not prepared to face. This year
has brought new hurdles as Astound worked to
successfully launch and expand its mobile service
to as many customers as possible in the company's
12-state footprint. Beyond his impact at the
operator, Gdovin contributes to the wider industry
through his work as an active member of the ACA
Connects board.

PASS THE GAVEL
It's evident that Kennedy and Swain have left a lasting impression on their audience
and colleagues during their more than 30 years at C-SPAN. When word broke of their
retirements this year, a flood of commendations and well wishes followed. The duo
has steadfastly adhered to C-SPAN's mission while expanding its digital initiatives, increasing
product licensing and launching advertising on its digital platforms. Swain and
Kennedy have paved the way for their successor, establishing a sturdy foundation for
the public affairs network as it marked its 45th anniversary in March.
ROB KENNEDY
Retiring Co-CEO
C-SPAN

Q&A
KENNEDY

middle and no BS. (OK, I'm biased.)
BUSINESS SPEAK PHRASE OR BUZZWORD I FIND MOST ANNOYING: " Efforting "

certainly compete for my available
viewing hours.
