Warner Bros. Tv Group chairman and CEO Channing Dungey is about to return to the Banff World Media Pageant to keynote its 2024 version.
Dungey did an off-the-cuff dialog look in Banff in 2021 quickly after being named to go up the Hollywood studio’s TV group. And in 2018, Dungey was in Banff for a keynote handle when serving as chairman of ABC Leisure, which was adopted by a brief stint at Netflix as vp of authentic sequence.
“Channing’s unparalleled experience and insights are a key driver in shaping the way forward for the leisure trade. She is a visionary whose impression transcends screens,” Jenn Kuzmyk, Banff government director, mentioned in a press release.
At WBTV, Dungey runs a TV studio tethered to Max, a streaming platform, and inside a Warner Bros. enterprise now a part of Warner Bros. Discovery. In all, Dungey oversees TV manufacturing on virtually 90 scripted, unscripted and animated sequence for streaming platforms, cable and broadcast networks.
Her look in Banff arrives as Hollywood’s studios and streamers emerge from twin strikes and are actually in a cost-cutting mode. On the identical time, Warner Bros. Discovery is seeking to proceed the rollout of Max in key worldwide markets, and bolster its inventive pipeline throughout its movie and TV studios.
Dungey will ship a keynote handle at Banff’s forty fifth version set to run June 9 to 12 as a part of the Summit Collection sidebar. Banff earlier introduced Rob Wade, CEO of Fox Leisure, may even ship a Summit Collection keynote on the pageant.
Dungey and Wade will headline a pageant set to debut Soundtrack, a program centered on screen-based music because the traces between expertise, synthetic intelligence and leisure more and more blur.
