Robert J. Miron
Bob Miron is an example of quiet but effective leadership, often working behind the scenes. Beginning his career at Advance/Newhouse right after college, his fresh vision and forward thinking left a legacy on the industry. He solidified the multi-system operator (MSO) group that backed Discovery Channel founder John Hendricks and marshaled in the microwave system that allowed HBO to develop in pre-satellite days. As two-time NCTA chairman, Miron was committed to responsible programming and took the lead on the TV ratings system, funding C-SPAN and providing leadership through Cable in the Classroom and the High-Speed Education Connection.
Miron was a board member as well as chairman of the NCTA during the difficult years preceding the passage of the 1992 Cable Act and was an advocate of moderation in rate hikes and aggressiveness in customer service standards that played a major role in improving the industry’s public image. He has also contributed his talents and experiences to many industry organizations, including the Walter Kaitz Foundation and Cable in the Classroom and has been active in a number of charitable organizations. Miron added to his record of industry service by becoming the first industry leader to be elected to two non-consecutive terms as chairman of the Board of Directors of NCTA.
