Atlanta Adult Entertainment: From breaking records to yesterday’s news
Posted on August 7th, 2010 in Atlanta adult entertainment
Speak to senior executives at the network (on the record, at least) and they will claim things have never been better. The firm’s profits enjoyed double-digit growth in the last year, for the sixth time running. It boasts a growing footprint in places such as Africa and the Middle East. Its website is hugely popular. And domestic ratings are an unreliable yardstick of success for an organisation whose global income comes from both subscribers and advertising.
“Honestly, we still walk around here wearing big smiles on our faces,” says Bart Feder, senior vice president of programming. “We have the best news brand on the planet, we are the place good journalists want to go and when things that matter happen in the world, people will still turn to CNN.”
In defence of the somewhat controversial hiring of Spitzer, the former Democratic governor of New York who pursued a “family values” agenda but then resigned after being caught with prostitutes, Feder is anxious to stress that his co-host will be Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker. Their forthcoming new show will not, he says, be an experiment in Fox-style partisanship.
