CONTENT LEADERS
43. PROSPER BY PIVOT
Burke Magnus | President, Programming & Original Content
ESPN
Years in Media & Broadband: 26
Education: BA, History, College of the Holy Cross; MS, Sport
Management, University of Massachusetts
My personal superpower is: That I don't have a superpower
With no sports to cover, ESPN's programming department had to find a new
strategy, and fast. Under Magnus, the team thought outside the box. The
networks acquired Korean baseball games for overnight programming and accelerated
the production of Emmy Award-winning docuseries " The Last Dance. "
Magnus also guided the networks through one of their most active rights
acquisition periods. He led cross-platform agreements and/or extensions with
the NFL, MLB, NHL, SEC and more.
MY PROUDEST PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT OVER THE PAST
12 MONTHS IS... the immense hard work & creativity displayed by the people of
ESPN to survive the shut-down of sports.
WHAT HABIT ARE YOU KEEPING POST-PANDEMIC? Peloton
NUMBER OF TIMES HAVE FLOWN IN THE PAST YEAR? Four
IF YOU COULD HOST A CLUBHOUSE CHAT WITH ANYONE, WHO
WOULD IT BE? Bill Walton & Mickey Hart
WHAT'S YOUR COVID VACCINE SLOGAN? Just do it. ■
44. PIVOTING TOWARD THE FUTURE
Mark Silverman | President, National Networks
FOX Sports
Years in Media & Broadband: 30
Education: BA, Economics, UCLA; MBA, University of
Michigan
My personal superpower is: Movie trivia
In 2020, FOX ranked #1 in total viewing of live sports events for
the second year in a row, and Silverman led FS1 to become the #2
sports cable network (average total day audience). At the outset of
the pandemic, he quickly added new programs like " FOX Football
Now, " " The Home Game " and " MLB Whiparound: Safe at Home "
to the FS1 lineup. Silverman looked to the future with the launch
the new FOX Sports app and website, and played a pivotal role in
expanding the networks' sports wagering strategy with FOX Bet.
PROUDEST
PROFESSIONAL
ACHIEVEMENT OF THE
PAST 12 MONTHS: (modified
to " personal " achievement): Only
gaining 10 pounds during Covid
WHAT MOVIE/SHOW
HASN'T BEEN REBOOTED
THAT I WISH WOULD BE:
" The White Shadow. "
COMFORT TV BINGE: Tie
between " The Restaurant " and " The
Bureau "
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING
FORWARD TO THIS
SUMMER? Spending more time
with my friends and family. ■
