Andy LeCuyer Moves Up at DISH

DISH has promoted Andy LeCuyer to senior VP of programming, responsible for the acquisition and renewal of DISH and Sling TV content.

LeCuyer manages the team securing satellite and digital rights (traditional linear, VOD, TV Everywhere and OTT) for general entertainment, local broadcast, sports, Latino and movie studio content. He also has oversight of programming operations. He will continue to work under Warren Schlichting, DISH’s executive VP of marketing, programming and media sales.

In 2011, LeCuyer was first hired by DISH as director of programming. He was eventually elevated to VP of programming, charged with maintaining local retransmission relationships around the country. He later became responsible for premium, pay-per-view and international content.

“Andy has successfully led the team through forward-looking, complex programming negotiations,” said Schlichting. “He has the poise and imagination to continue transforming this industry in an effort to better serve the consumers who are changing the way they watch TV.”
