Mike Moriarty to Depart AMC Networks International

Mike Moriarty, the president of AMC Networks International (AMCNI) – Central & Northern Europe and U.K., has decided to leave the company.

Moriarty is a 30-plus-year industry veteran who was appointed president of AMCNI – Central & Northern Europe and U.K. in 2014 following AMC Networks’ acquisition of Chellomedia. Moriarty will be stepping down from his position at the end of the month.

“It has been a privilege to work with so many talented colleagues and friends throughout the years at AMC Networks and, prior to that, at Liberty Global,” said Moriarty. “I’m extremely proud of what we have achieved in establishing AMC Networks International as a global provider of excellent, sought-after content, especially throughout Central and Northern Europe and in all of the countries we cover through the U.K. division. With AMCNI’s strong position in these regions, I see this as the right time to explore new opportunities. I am especially looking forward to spending some more time with my family.”

“Mike has been a valuable contributor who has played a vital role as we’ve expanded AMC Networks’ global footprint and established AMCNI as a leading global channel group and content provider,” said Ed Carroll, AMC Networks’ COO. “Mike has done outstanding work, particularly in developing the successful CBS Channels in the U.K. and creating a strong business in Central and Northern Europe. We deeply appreciate his many contributions to the company over his long tenure and wish him much success in his next chapter.”
