This year’s National Cable & Telecommunications Association The Cable Show 2008 takes place next week in New Orleans, and Fox Business Network will be there.

On Monday, Money for Breakfast, with anchor Alexis Glick and fill-in anchor Eric Bolling, and Opening Bell, with Glick, airs live from Cafe du Monde. Guest have yet to be announced, but are slated to be local business leaders, sports stars and politicians.

The anchors of Happy Hour, Rebecca Gomez and Cody Willard, will also be in the French Quarter for the conference, anchoring the program on Tuesday from Pat O’Brien’s bar.

The NCTA bills the showcase as, “The ultimate opportunity for cable telecommunications professionals to discover new products, advances in technology, and innovative ways to increase customer satisfaction and grow their businesses.”

But with FBN talent and shows broadcasting from the conference, another side effect could be the ability to gain exposure for the seven-month-old network, as it looks to expand beyond its current 35 million home reach.
