Sky Italia consolidates programme department

June 20, 2013

Sky Italia has consolidated its programming structure into a single group led by Andrea Scrosati who has been appointed Executive Vice President Programming.

Scrosati will lead Cinema, Entertainment, Partner Channels and Sky TG24. Sport content will remain a separate group.

This structure follows a model already adopted by News Corp in the UK and in Germany.

Sarah Varetto, appointed Vice President News, will continue leading the Sky TG 24 channels.

Andrea Zappia, CEO of Sky Italia, commented: “Sky boasts a wealth of outstanding premium content, but it still has great potential for further improving its quality and investing in new TV formats. This new division was created to fulfil this potential, and Andrea Scrosati’s great professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the TV sector are the best guarantee for achieving this important goal.”
