The Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA) announced that, following five years of service as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Christopher Slaughter will step down effective Dec. 31. Slaughter will continue as CEO through the remainder of the year while a search is carried out for his successor.
