It’s been about 6-months since we launched the CableU Confidential blog, a place where some of the CableU team can sound off on topics impacting producers, programmers and anyone else with stake in business of U.S. cable television. As a recap of 2008, some of our most popular entries have been:

1. The Multiplatform Genius of Big Brother, by Dan Salerno (Discovery, Fuse)
2. TV Programming: An Art or a Science? by Reess Kennedy
3. Making Something Out of Something Else, by Liz Levenson

To aid those who can’t make it, we’ve also been posting notes from the conferences domestically and abroad, check out Sabrina Toledo‘s recap of MIPCOM in Cannes and Gary Lico‘s recent posts on his experiences in Florence at Science Congress. Full information, news and notes from these events are reflected in all the analyst’s monthly research reports over at CableU.

Also: We’ve received some great feedback on our Executive Interview series, most recently with Fine Living Network’s Judith Orlowski. In addition to this series, to assist our producer community we’ve started a Producer Perspective series and have so far interviewed such distinguished producers as Dale Bosch,  Charles Palmer and Cheri Brownlee.
