Good Morning. It’s Friday, October 12, 2007 and this is your first early morning briefing. Jim Robbins, former Cox Communications Chief Executive, died Wednesday evening at home after battling cancer for several months. He was 65. Jim worked at Cox for 22 years, with 20 of those years as CEO. Under his watch, Cox quadrupled in size, going from 1.3 million subscribers to 6.3 million, and became known for its exemplary customer service and innovation. Jim also ushered the cable TV industry into the expansion that included telephone services. A memorial service will be held October 20 at 3p at Trinity Church, Copley Square, Boston, and at 11a on October 27 at All Saints Episcopal Church in Atlanta. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 400 Perimeter Center Terrace, Suite 750, Atlanta, GA 30346 or The Melanoma Research Foundation, 170 Township Line Road, Building B, Hillsborough, NJ 08844.
