\n\tLONDON: Gary Davey, the executive VP of programming at Sky Deutschland, has been appointed to an expanded role as managing director of content at Sky.<\/p>\n
\n\tDavey is combining his new role—with responsibility for Sky's entertainment, movies and news channels in the U.K. and Ireland—with his existing responsibilities at Sky Deutschland. He will split his time between London and Munich. Davey replaces longtime Sky exec Sophie Turner Laing, who was tapped as CEO of the newly formed Endemol Shine Group.<\/p>\n
\n\tJeremy Darroch, Sky’s group chief executive, said: “Gary is one of the most capable executives in pay TV and I am delighted to welcome him back to Sky in the U.K. As we become a more international business, Gary’s broad experience across many markets gives him a unique perspective that he can now apply to the continued growth of our content business in the U.K. and Ireland as well as Germany and Austria.”<\/p>\n
\n\tDavey added: “I have always been very proud of having played a part in the launch of Sky in the U.K. Even more so to watch it grow and now become Europe’s leading entertainment company. This is a brand-new beginning and I am looking forward to working with the exceptional team in the U.K. as we take our channels to new heights.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
