Kent Gibbons

Broadcasting+Cable and Multichannel News content director Kent Gibbons will retire on June 28. He started at Multichannel News 30 years ago.

A story on Broadcasting+Cable  states, “Michael Malone, senior content producer at B+C and MCN, will succeed Gibbons atop the publications, part of Future B2B, starting July 1.

“‘I have thoroughly enjoyed my time covering the multichannel TV industry, starting from my early days at MCN covering the nascent satellite- and telco-TV platforms that competed with cable and then working the cable finance beat before taking editor positions, starting in the late ‘90s,’ said Gibbons. ‘Mostly I treasure the relationships formed with colleagues at MCN and then at B+C, including my current peers Tom Umstead, Jon Lafayette, Dan Frankel, Mike Demenchuk; the recently retired John Eggerton; and of course my partner in news, Mike Malone.'”
