Spread across 14 field offices, Gardner’s organization also develops and executes marketing strategies to support its many satellite, cable and telephony distributors’ objectives for these same networks and their most popular programs. Gardner also works with other key Fox and News Corporation divisions to maximize emerging media applications like high definition television, video on demand and broadband delivery of key content from these and other Fox-owned operations that involve cable, satellite and telephony distribution.

Prior to joining Fox Cable Networks, Gardner held positions at Atlanta-based Cox Communications and Viewer’s Choice, the pay-per-view network now known as iN DEMAND.  While at Cox, he led successful investment initiatives in new cable channels both domestically and internationally, and managed those businesses through critical growth stages.
