David Levy Upped to President of Turner Broadcasting
Posted in: Uncategorized
Just weeks after Phil Kent announced his retirement as CEO and CFO John Martin was named as his successor, effective Jan. 1, Turner Broadcasting is promoting David Levy to president. Mr. Levy — a well-known executive who had been president for advertising, distribution and sports at Turner — had been considered a favorite to take over for Mr. Kent as CEO.
The newly created post means Mr. Levy adds oversight of Turner’s domestic entertainment and animation and young adults networks and business portfolios, meaning he is in charge of both creative and business activity at TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic Movies, truTV, Boomerang and Adult Swim, as well as their digital brand extensions.
Mr. Levy reports to Mr. Kent. Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, and Stuart Snyder, president and chief operating officer of Turner Animation, young adults and kids media, will now report to Mr. Levy instead of Mr. Kent.
