Dana Strong has steered Sky Group as chief executive since 2021, after leading consumer services at Comcast/Xfinity and holding roles at Liberty Global.
Sky has announced it will acquire ITV’s broadcasting and ITVX operations for £1.6bn, creating a major UK challenger to global streaming platforms. ITV Studios remains independent, and a long-term content-supply deal will see ITV Studios provide content to the merged group. Regulators will review the deal, which includes potential contingent payments based on advertising performance.
