Lowe and Jim Samples both taking on new responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman, President and CEO Kenneth W. Lowe will now occupy the role of chair of the supervisory board of TVN in Poland. In addition, Jim Samples has been named president of TVN\u2019s management board. In this capacity, Samples will have day-to-day oversight of the company. Samples has been leading TVN on an interim basis since July 2016 and will continue as president of Scripps Networks Interactive\u2019s international operations.<\/p>\n<p>Scripps Networks acquired TVN in July 2015. In 2016, TVN realized the biggest growth among Poland\u2019s big four broadcasters, and the broadcast channel is currently the second most-watched in Poland.<\/p>\n<p>Lowe commented: \u201cUnder the ownership of Scripps Networks Interactive, TVN has gone from strength to strength in the last 18\u00a0months, across the full range of entertainment, news and lifestyle networks. The company is central to our plans to grow our business outside the United States, and I am looking forward to working even more closely with the supervisory board as we look to achieve that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJim Samples has shown incredible leadership of the TVN team over the last six months, and I know that his experience and direction will be integral to the company\u2019s ongoing expansion and success. These are exciting times for TVN, and I\u2019m very confident in Jim and the team\u2019s ability to drive continued strong performance for a long time to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samples said: \u201cIt\u2019s a great honor to be asked to continue to lead TVN, which is undoubtedly one of the best broadcasters and media companies in the whole of Europe. The team here has done an amazing job over the last six months, and there are huge opportunities as we continue to build greater cooperation and integration with the wider Scripps Networks business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KNOXVILLE: Scripps Networks Interactive has made leadership changes at TVN in Poland, with Kenneth W.
