Time Warner Cable Names Dixon New VP, Public Policy

Kyle Dixon, a partner in the telecommunications practice of law firm Wilkson Barker Knauer, has joined Time Warner Cable's public policy group.

Dixon will serve as vice president, public policy, reporting to senior vice president Steve Vest.

Dixon's resume includes entries as deputy chief of the Federal Communications Commission's Media Bureau and special counsel on broadband policy.

Editor's note:An earlier version of this item identifying retransmission consent reform as a policy issue for Time Warner was incorrect. That is an important issue for Time Warner Cable.
