COVER STORY: Cable Comes Out Swinging SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE
Live ring sports are providing cable programmers a way to hit back at time-shifting trends with demo-friendly, DVR-proof appointment television.  more
WHY THIS MATTERS: Live boxing, pro wrestling and mixed-martial arts continue to drive huge ratings numbers for networks like FS1, Spike TV, USA Network, Showtime and HBO, as sports fans gather together in front of large-screen TVs to watch unpredictable, action-packed events that drive social media engagement.

Fiber Battle Heats Up in Louisville
Google Fiber said it is "standing with Louisville" as the Kentucky city faces an AT&T lawsuit filed Thursday alleging that the city doesn't have the authority to streamline a pole attachment process that could make it easier for newcomers, such as Google Fiber, to deploy networks there. more
WHY THIS MATTERS: Under the ordinance, Google Fiber and other third parties would be held accountable for damage costs. But AT&T, which views the ordinance as invalid, argued that giving such access to those poles would cause "irreparable harm that cannot be addressed by recovery of damages."

MCN's 2016 MONEY ALL-STARS: 10 Names to Bank On in Changing Times SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE

Against that backdrop, Multichannel News presents our annual listing of the top men and women in the investment banking, private equity and financial advisory space. more
WHY THIS MATTERS: While the deals came fast and furious in 2015, and that pace is expected to continue through 2016, it has also been a period of great market volatility. It's never been more important to tap the most knowledgeable industry minds to navigate the ever-changing landscape.
