The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced today that Steve Mosko, Sony Pictures Television president, will participate in the opening keynote conversation at NAB’s Content and Communications World (CCW) on Wednesday, November 11. CCW will be held November 11-12 in New York City.
During his keynote, Mosko will be hosted in conversation by Bill Carter, former New York Times television columnist and current contributor to CNN, The Hollywood Reporter and host of a show on SiriusXM satellite radio. Their conversation will address the current television landscape from the perspective of Mosko, the president of a 360 degree global television business at one of Hollywood’s largest studios. Mosko will discuss embracing innovation from distribution dealmaking to Sony Pictures’ own OTT service, Crackle, which creates new ways for audiences around the globe to access their favorite content.
“CCW showcases the latest trends in technology, media and entertainment that will drive the future of broadcast and media forward,” said Chris Brown, NAB executive vice president, Conventions and Business Operations. “Under Steve’s leadership, Sony Pictures Television has been in the lead in terms of delivering content for new platforms like SVOD services and gaming consoles, in addition to the production and delivery of 4K content. With his extensive experience across all facets of the television industry, Mr. Mosko is guaranteed to be a huge draw for CCW attendees.”
