Background

About Randy Brown

I am incredibly fortunate to have focused my entire career in the television and entertainment space where I’ve faced diverse challenges within startup, rapid-growth, and turnaround environments. My success draws from early career mentors, comfort with risk and accountability, effective team leadership, adaptability to evolving linear and digital platforms and an extensive network of industry relationships to support my objectives of elevating revenue and asset value. Among my strengths is identifying, pitching, negotiating, and closing critical and complex content deals with MVPD’s including DIRECTV, Comcast, Charter, Dish, Cox, Verizon and the NCTC. Those skills served me well in licensing vMVPD’s YouTube TV, Philo, Fubo and Sling TV in addition to OTT platforms such as Samsung TV Plus, XUMO and Plex. I also have experience with Canadian BDUs and previously established partnerships leading to network launches in EMEA and Asia. Active in government affairs on behalf of other independent networks, I provided insights to the Department of Justice regarding pending M&A deals as well as to the FCC, FTC and members of Congress regarding industry dynamics and challenges impacting independent networks. Currently I serve as Government Affairs Advisor to Anthem Sports & Entertainment, providing guidance and advocacy toward advancing Anthem’s legislative and regulatory objectives.
