Adam Harman Joins Scripps to Lead Programming

Adam Harman has joined The E.W. Scripps Company as senior VP of programming to oversee the content strategy for a portfolio of news and entertainment networks, including ION.

Harman, whose new post took effect this week, was most recently VP of strategy and acquisitions at A+E Networks. He previously led program planning and acquisitions at NBC Universal’s Style Network after starting his career at Hallmark Channel.

“As Scripps continues to evolve its content strategy to connect with audiences and advertisers on every platform, Adam is an ideal leader to steer our programming team,” said Keisha Taylor Starr, Scripps’ chief marketing officer and general manager of Scripps Networks. “Adam has the ability to seek out the bold and impactful content consumers crave, and his industry relationships will help Scripps continue delivering it to our audiences wherever they tune-in.”

“The Scripps brand has built tremendous equity through its rich history of innovation and its ability to connect with consumers in a trusted and meaningful way,” said Harman. “Their dedication to a wide range of compelling programming for both audiences and advertisers is something I’m excited to build upon as we work to engage the next generation of media consumers. I’m thrilled to join a team that shares my passion for delivering a top-tier viewer experience while also creating exceptional value and new opportunities for advertisers.”
