• Where's Project Canoe's New CEO?

    At the recent Cable Show in New Orleans, Comcast's president Steve Burke said that Project Canoe's new CEO would be announced on June 1. However, June 1 has come and gone without any news. Project Canoe, which Mugs covered for VideoNuze recently, is the cable industry's new interactive ad system, meant to draw national advertisers to cable's VOD and other advanced video delivery platforms. A rumor has circulated widely that David Verklin, former CEO of Aegis North America (a large advertising service firm) would get the nod, but nothing has been made official. I haven't heard what is causing the delay. If you know, post a comment...
