DirecTV: The former Pepsi executive was a surprise choice by John Malone to become President/CEO of the No. 1 satellite company in January 2010 after Chase Carey. But he seemed to have adapted quickly, introducing discounts and programming initiatives to attract subscribers while the company benefited from its growing popularity in Latin America. DirecTV shares were up 17.5% while White collected $32.9 million (including $1.5 million in salary, $14.7 million in stock awards, $12.5 million in options, $4 million in cash incentives, and about $300,000 in other compensation including more than $26,000 for personal use of the company plane). White's pay is 7.2 times higher than the average for DirecTV's four other top executives. White's right hand man is Bruce Churchill. ,, , ,  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.246.237 (talk) 00:39, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
