PHILLIPS' IC Magazine Announces Annual Award Winners POTOMAC, Md., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Phillips' IC (formerly International Cable), the business solutions magazine for the international cable, wireless and satellite industries, announced the winners of its second annual IC Awards at the 1998 California Cable Television Association exhibit and conference yesterday in Anaheim. This year's winners, in four categories, are: IC System of the Year -- NET Sao Paulo; IC System Executive of the Year -- Leo Hindery, Jr., of Tele- Communications, Inc. (TCI); IC Programmer of the Year -- Discovery Communications; and IC Editor's Award -- CANAL +. NET Sao Paulo is the flagship system of NET Brasil, the country's dominant multiple-system operator (MSO). Having recently acquired rival Multicanal's homes in the capital, NET is now upgrading the network for two-way services, Internet access and an expanded channel lineup, while reducing service-call response to a three hour minimum. Leo Hindery, Jr. deserves much of the credit for turning around TCI's day- to-day operations and resulting public image of the world's largest MSO. Instilling a commitment to customer service, civic responsibility and cutting- edge technology, Hindery has helped boost TCI's stock both with customers and analysts. Discovery Communications has made the non-fiction genre both exciting and profitable. Through its many international extensions, separately branded channels and international joint ventures, Discovery has created one of the world's most recognizable and respected brands that reaches into theatrical, retail, electronic-media and publishing venues. CANAL+ has been transformed from a French terrestrial pay network into a global provider and distributor of theme networks, an international theatrical production giant, a technology company dedicated to open standards and the owner of multiple technology platforms -- analog and digital cable, digital satellite and interactive e-casting. ''These awards celebrate some of the industry's finest international success stories,'' said IC Editor Alex Swan. ''They honor men and women who provide viewers worldwide with the best entertainment and information choices every day. As the global pay-television industry matures and branches out to deliver voice service and high-speed data transmission, IC will continue to identify and honor key industry leaders.'' IC, now in its tenth year and reaching more than 11,000 readers, is published by Phillips Business Information, Inc. (PBI). PBI (www.phillips.com/pbi), of Potomac Md., provides a broad range of business information resources for executives in specialized industries. The company is a subsidiary of Phillips Publishing International, Inc. (www.phillips.com), a diversified publisher of more than 100 newsletters, magazines, CD-ROMs, directories and other information services with sales of $310 million for fiscal 1998.
