What does the future look like for skinny
bundles and flexible packaging? Some will
win, many will lose.
Virtual reality is... an exciting opportunity for
deeper engagement when used properly.

Stotsky oversees daily operations of E! and

growth. While continuing to fuel franchise staples

Stotsky has his eye on new ventures like scripted
