Herb Scannell Joins Latin Everywhere’s Board of Advisors

LOS ANGELES: Herb Scannell, former MTV Networks vice chairman and Nickelodeon Networks president, is joining the board of advisors of the Latino digital media company Latin Everywhere.

Scannell will play an integral role in the expansion of the Latino digital media company’s Pongalo OTT platform, as well as its Pongalo YouTube and social media channels, which recently surpassed two billion video views. Scannell’s advisory role accompanies his concurrent investment in the company.

Scannell said, “From my days of putting Dora the Explorer on Nickelodeon to now getting involved with Latin Everywhere, I’ve always thought that Latino audiences deserve more and better choices. Latino audiences are underserved in digital media, and I like what the Latin Everywhere guys are doing.”

Chairman Rich Hull added, “It’s an honor to officially bring Herb into our family, especially as we gear up to add an SVOD offering to Pongalo’s current ad-supported OTT audience. There’s simply no one in the business who’s better at creating ground-breaking audience experiences than Herb.”
