Women in Cable Telecommunications named some of its 2008 Accolade Award winners.

Cox Communications senior vice president Jill Campbell was named Woman of the Year; Comcast Spotlight senior VP, marketing and communications Vicki Lins and TLC president and general manager Eileen O’Neill were named Women to Watch; ESPN was the winner of Best Documentary/Biography for Fugees Family; and Lifetime Television won for Best Drama/Musical/Variety/Comedy for Army Wives.

Best Programmer and Operator (Cox has had something of a lock on the latter award) will be named in November, when WICT holds its annual benefit dinner (Nov. 20) in Washington, D.C.
