Without that reputation for delivering quality, guilt-free Testosterone TV (something he’ll speak about at next month’s Nab Show in Las Vegas), his latest docu-series, Spike Coal’s, premiering March 30, may never have happened. It took Beers four years to find the right coal mine to turn his cameras on: He needed a company willing to trust that he would show what working underground is really like (that’s where his credits...

Big idea: To transform the fledgling cable channel IFC into a major media player by acquiring critically acclaimed, low-rated series such as Freaks and Geeks, while also producing original programs, including the soon-to-be-launched Onion News Network, a comedy starring David Cross, and a reality show about the world of competitive beard growing. "Like everything on IFC, it's slightly off-kilter," says Jennifer Caserta, 39.
Credentials: Caserta worked her way up through the ad sales and marketing departments of Oxygen, the Food Network, and Court TV before joining IFC as vice president of marketing in 2004. She left two years later to run Fuse, the music channel, but returned in 2007 to take over IFC's TV and online programming as well as its marketing and communications.
