Fox launches content sales group

Fox International Channels is bringing together its sales divisions to create a new umbrella distribution group, drafting in ex-Sky Vision exec Connie Hodson as part of a new look team.

The new division, Fox International Channels Content Sales, will now oversee distribution of all series and specials from FIC’s channel brands under the leadership of executive VP, global sports and content sales Simon Thomas.

The unit will be divided by sports, entertainment and factual lines, and is also now in charge of Nat Geo Channels’ Global Content Sales team. In total, the London-based group oversee networks of sales teams from “several” of FIC’s 62 offices around the world.http://www.digitaltveurope.net/236331/fox-launches-content-sales-group/
