Insight TV Hires for the Americas

Insight TV has appointed Mark Romano to the position of VP for the Americas.

In this role, Romano is responsible for managing and negotiating distribution deals across all platforms, including MVPDs and OTT, in North America. He will report to the company’s chief commercial officer, Graeme Stanley, and is based in New York.

Prior to joining Insight TV, Romano held executive distribution roles at ONE World Sports, Outdoor Channel and Rainbow Media. He comes to Insight TV from Captivate, LLC, where he was VP of strategic accounts.

“Mark has an incredible track record of building linear, VOD, SVOD and customized platforms for both start-up and established platforms,” said Stanley. “He joins us at a pivotal time in our growth and evolution. We are enjoying both an increased adoption and appreciation for 4K services and the enhanced customer experience they offer, as well as more and more distribution partnerships across the region. We are confident that Mark will continue to ride this wave and further our access to our enthusiastic fanbase.”

Romano added: “As MVPDs in the U.S. and Canada are adapting to the changes in our industry, as well as in consumer demand, Insight TV is a service that supports the shift in focus to their broadband business. As one of the few linear and streaming services featuring original native 4K UHD content, we consider Insight TV to be an excellent partner to operators that are interested in highlighting the quality and speed of their broadband services.”
