B&C’s John Higgins dead of heart attack at 45

Steve Safran November 22nd, 2006

Broadcasting & Cable’s Business Editor John M. Higgins died Monday night of a heart attack. John was only 45. I had the pleasure of serving on a panel with John earlier this year and regularly traded emails with him. John was a keen commentator on our industry, an acerbic wit and a terrific reporter. Lost Remote has linked to many, many of his stories over the years. B&C has set up a page where John’s friends are sharing their memories. We offer our condolences to the Higgins family and everyone at B&C and Reed Business Information. Farewell, John.
