Showtime EVP Mark Greenberg wears many hats, including developing at least two new channels, one of which is Logo, the gay and lesbian service that Showtime incubated and MTV Networks is launching in February. www.cableworld.com /cgi/cw/show_mag.cgi?pub=cw&mon=101804&file=itsshowtime.htm   (1690 words)
