Mediacom Communications today announced the appointment of Joseph Appio as Group Vice President, Video and Entertainment Products. This appointment draws on Appio's deep experience and positions him to lead Mediacom's Programming Team into the future.

In this role, Appio will lead the strategy, economics, evolution, and growth of the company's video and entertainment portfolio. His focus will be on transforming video from a traditional standalone product into a broader entertainment platform that enhances the value of our connectivity, mobile, and value-added services.

Appio began his career in the cable industry with United Artists Cable Systems Corporation, overseeing cable system operations across seven states, before joining US Cable in 1993. He subsequently served as Vice President of Operations and became US Cable Group's first Chief Operating Officer, helping drive strategic growth and operational improvements.

Earlier in his career, Appio pioneered the transport of broadcast video signals over metropolitan fiber networks. Following the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, he volunteered his technical expertise to help restore broadcasts for New York City's four major local television stations. He also served as a telecommunications consultant for the U.S. Air Force in Germany.

Appio joined Mediacom in 2013 and has played a key role in programming contract negotiations, in-home video technology, IP streaming, and next-generation product development.
