Los Angeles Times reporter Joe Flint will moderate the Keynote Conversation with Walden and Newman, which will centre on how they have built Twentieth into a leading provider of TV blockbusters while navigating the challenges and opportunities facing media companies today. The panel will take place on Monday, 12 April from 11:30 am to 12:30.
"As the chairmen of Twentieth Century Fox Television, Gary and Dana are established leaders in broadcast media, and have also been pioneers in developing exciting new ways to bring content to consumers," said Chris Brown, executive vice president, Conventions & Business Operations for the NAB Show. "Our attendees expect to see the biggest names in media when they attend the NAB Show, and I'm delighted that expectation will be met with what I'm sure will be a lively and informative discussion."
Walden and Newman were named presidents of TCFTV in 1999 and were promoted to chairmen of the studio in 2007. Together they have led the studio to unparalleled success across all media, from broadcast and cable television to syndication, mobile, broadband and beyond. Walden and Newman recently delivered three of the biggest hits of the season to Fox and ABC with Ryan Murphy's ‘Glee', Seth MacFarlane's ‘The Cleveland Show' and Steven Levitan & Christopher Lloyd's ‘Modern Family'. Their ‘Sons of Anarchy', co-produced with FX Productions, exploded in its second season to become the No. 1 rated series among young adults in all of basic cable. Overall, the pair has been hugely instrumental in building TCFTV into a leading supplier of blockbuster television programming.
