CFX (formerly Cablefax): The Business Journal for Convergent Media
CFX, known until April 2026 as Cablefax, is a New York-based trade news service covering the cable, broadband, and convergent media industries. Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, it describes itself as the business journal for convergent media and as what broadband executives read first and trust the most. The service delivers original, comprehensive, and insightful coverage of the business developments affecting cable, broadband, streaming, and digital markets through a daily newsletter, a quarterly magazine, a podcast, awards programs, webinars, conferences, and networking events. In April 2026, after more than three decades as Cablefax, the publication rebranded to CFX to reflect an industry that has grown far beyond traditional cable into broadband, streaming, advertising, mobile, data, and emerging technologies.
A Trusted Brand for More Than Three Decades
For more than three decades, Cablefax was the trusted voice of the cable and broadband industry, providing cable, broadband, and television content executives with original and insightful coverage of industry news and strategic initiatives. Its offerings grew into a wide range of resources for industry professionals, including Cablefax Daily, Cablefax: The Magazine, awards programs, webinars, and networking events. The brand's reputation rested on a team of hard-charging and curious editors delivering original, comprehensive, and insightful reporting on the business side of cable, broadband, and digital markets. That editorial DNA — a business-first lens on an industry in constant technological flux — carried through the 2026 rebrand to CFX.
The Rebrand to CFX
On April 14, 2026, Cablefax announced its rebrand to CFX, marking a significant evolution in both name and scope. The announcement, datelined New York, explained that the new identity reflects the transformation of the industry itself — from traditional cable to a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem spanning broadband, streaming, advertising, mobile, data, and emerging technologies. "CFX represents where our industry is today — and where it's going," said Amy Maclean, Editorial Director of CFX, noting that while Cablefax had always been rooted in deep industry expertise, the business it covered had expanded far beyond what that name suggests. As the business journal for convergent media, CFX delivers expanded coverage across connectivity, streaming platforms, audience monetization, artificial intelligence and advertising technology, sports rights, and distribution economics.
Six Editorial Pillars
The CFX editorial promise is organized around six pillars: connectivity, streaming and free ad-supported television (FAST), audience monetization, AI and ad tech, sports rights, and distribution economics. This focus mirrors where investment dollars and consumer attention are flowing across the media and telecommunications business. AI-driven ad targeting is reshaping revenue models for both linear and streaming platforms, FAST services are emerging as a key growth engine for content owners, and broadband infrastructure is expanding into new verticals. By covering these intersecting domains, CFX positions itself as a strategic source of insight for executives navigating the economics of modern media delivery.
Ownership: Access Intelligence
CFX Daily is published daily by Access Intelligence, LLC, a business-to-business media company. The company's offices are in Rockville, Maryland, with editorial staff also operating from New York. Access Intelligence publishes CFX alongside other business-to-business brands, and the CFX operation includes a chief operating officer, editorial leadership, sales staff, and production management. The daily publication carries ISSN 1069-6644 and is available by annual subscription, with a listed annual subscription price of $1,999 per year. The publisher presents CFX as the most trusted brand in the industry for its executive audience.
CFX Daily and the Magazine
The flagship product is CFX Daily, formerly Cablefax Daily, a daily newsletter that arrives in subscribers' inboxes with the day's breaking industry news, deals, personnel moves, and analysis. The publication transitioned the daily PDF from "Cablefax Daily" to "CFX Daily" as part of the rebrand. Alongside the daily, the company publishes CFX: The Magazine (formerly Cablefax: The Magazine), a quarterly magazine whose special issues include features such as the Most Powerful Women celebration and the Top Ops issue. The magazine's long-form reporting and special editions complement the daily's breaking-news function.
The Podcast and Digital Products
CFX also produces a podcast that extends its editorial coverage into audio, along with webinars and online content. The brand's digital presence at cablefax.com provides breaking news, premium content, and access to the publication's archive. Industry commentators have noted that Cablefax long ago moved past its fax-based distribution origins — the name dated to an era when a faxed daily newsletter was cutting edge — to become a fully digital daily news operation. The CFX identity completes that transition, shedding a legacy label that no longer describes the publication's scope.
Awards Programs
CFX runs a portfolio of industry-leading awards programs, all of which continued under the CFX name after the rebrand. The FAXIES Awards, running for more than twenty years, set the industry benchmark for excellence in marketing and public relations, honoring the communications initiatives of cable, broadband, and media companies across dozens of categories. The Most Powerful Women program, unveiled each year at a celebration brunch in New York City, recognizes women executives shaping the industry. The CFX 100, introduced on April 23, 2026, is a reimagined version of the long-running annual Cablefax 100 list, recognizing the most influential executives shaping the future of the industry.
Events and Networking
Beyond awards, CFX convenes the industry through conferences and networking events. One notable collaboration is Convergent TV World, hosted by CFX together with Cynopsis, AdExchanger, and AdMonsters in New York City, bringing together the television, advertising technology, and streaming communities. The publication has also partnered with organizations such as The Cable Center on industry guidebooks and webinars. These events extend the publication's role from news source to industry meeting place, connecting the executives, marketers, and technologists it covers.
The Editorial Team
The editorial operation is led by Editorial Director Amy Maclean, with Noah Ziegler serving as Editor and John Saavedra as Senior Editor. Sarah Sluis covers ad tech and convergent media as an editorial director, and Sara Winegardner has served as managing editor. The broader organization includes a chief operating officer, a divisional president for the marketing and media group, sales leadership, and production staff. The team produces the daily newsletter, the quarterly magazine, and the awards and events programming that make up the CFX portfolio.
Audience and Influence
CFX serves a highly engaged audience of senior decision-makers across leading companies including Comcast NBCUniversal, Fox Corporation, Charter Communications, and Cox Communications, as well as a broader ecosystem of media, technology, and advertising leaders. Trade directory listings describe Cablefax as what broadband executives read first and trust the most, with national trade and business-to-business scope. The publication's influence rests on its access to the industry's top executives and its role in documenting the deals, technologies, and strategies that define the cable and broadband business.
