Evolution of Television News: Interview with Jim Rogers Part I

I had the pleasure of sitting down with a member of the Carey Business School Board of Overseers last week, Jim Rogers.  He is an attorney, philanthropist, and the founder and owner of Intermountain West Communications Company.  His company operates NBC and FOX affiliates in 11 different media markets in the Sunbelt region.

Mr. Rogers first entered the media business in the 1970's.  Since then, he has seen how the industry has evolved in an era of 24-hour cable news and the internet.  He also has a passion for bringing news to local markets.  See Part II here.
