Dana Strong

Dana Strong serves as the CEO of Sky, a prominent European pay-TV broadcaster that is a subsidiary of the US telecommunications giant Comcast. Sky has recently been in the news due to a significant £1.6 billion deal to acquire ITV's broadcasting and streaming arm, a move that would establish the UK's largest commercial broadcaster. This acquisition aims to integrate ITV's free-to-air TV channels and its ITVX streaming platform with Sky's existing operations. Concurrently, Comcast, Sky's parent company, is planning to spin off its media operations, including NBCUniversal and Sky, into a separate publicly listed company. This strategic separation, expected to take a year, follows Comcast's acquisition of Sky's European operations for £31 billion eight years prior. Strong's leadership is central to these major strategic shifts, positioning Sky for a potentially expanded role in the UK and European media landscape amidst significant corporate restructuring.
