rankings are based on a 2013 WICT survey of pay equity, opportunities for advancement and resources for “work/life support,” the release said. Twenty-five companies participated in the survey, 59 percent of the cable workforce, WICT said. “The data over time shows gains for women in several key areas, including a higher percentage of women at the executive and senior levels,” said WICT Chief of Staff Parthavi Das in the release. “However, promotion rates are lower for women as compared to men and departure rates are higher, and the concern is that if the trend continues the number of women in management will decline over the next five years.” In the “Best Operators” list, Bright House came in second behind Cox and Comcast, Time Warner Cable was third, Midcontinent Communications was fourth, and Suddenlink was fifth. Behind NBCU, Discovery was listed as second-best programmer, followed by Disney ABC Television, Scripps Networks Interactive and Turner Broadcasting.
