The Television Academy has announced the newly elected governors for the Emerging Media Programming Peer Group (replacing the Interactive Media Peer Group).
Eric Shamlin, executive VP, global head of entertainment at Media.Monks, will serve a two-year term; and Kevin Dreyfuss, senior vice president, digital content and gaming studio at AMC Networks, will serve a one-year term.
In October, the Television Academy’s Board of Governors reorganized the Interactive Media Peer Group as the Emerging Media Programming Peer Group in order to reflect the significant changes in the television landscape since the inception of the former group more than 20 years ago. The reorganization of the Emerging Media Programming Peer Group is effective Jan. 1, 2023. Revised membership requirements for both active and associate membership are available on the Television Academy website.
