We welcomed a new board member, Samuel DiPiazza, in June of last
year, and were also pleased to have added Lorrie Norrington, who became
a DIRECTV board member earlier this year. I look forward to working with
both Sam and Lorrie and the rest of board in the years ahead.
Finally, I will say again that I am extremely proud of everyone on
the DIRECTV team. That we were able to meet the considerable
challenges of the past year and achieve our goals is a great testament
to our ability to adapt and execute. And it also underscores the
strength of our offer in the marketplace with innovative marketing,
superior products and services like the industry’s most advanced HD
DVRs, our Whole-Home DVR service, more movie choices on DIRECTV
CINEMA, NFL SUNDAY TICKET games our customers can watch
anywhere, and the best HD and 3D choices anywhere.
I am confident our company will continue to grow and deliver
outstanding returns for our shareholders. We have a collective passion
for performance and excellence that is grounded in the values of
leadership, innovation, decisiveness, agility, teamwork and integrity.
There is no doubt in my mind that together we will continue to build
a world-class enterprise that will endure for our 50,000 employees and
contractors around the world, our business partners, our shareholders,
and the more than 28 million DIRECTV customers who enjoy the world’s
best—and getting better—video experience.
