New York, NY (PRWEB) June 10, 2014 -- ONE World Sports announced today that it is expanding and reorganizing its affiliate sales team around Eastern and Western divisions to better position the global sports network to serve prospective new distribution partners and support its growing roster of existing distributors.
ONE World Sports recently added Verizon FiOS, Google Fiber and Hawaiian Telcom to its lineup of distribution partners currently including Cablevision Optimum TV, Dish Network and Mediacom Communications.
Kristen McNeill has joined ONE World Sports as Senior Vice President of the Western Division, based in Los Angeles. She joins from Tribune Company, where she was Vice President, Affiliate Sales, Western Region, on behalf of WGN America and Tribune’s Broadcast Television Group. In this role, Kristen successfully negotiated distribution rights for WGN America as well as retransmission consent for 42 broadcast television stations. She has more than 15 years of cable network experience; prior to Tribune, she held sales and marketing positions with E! Networks and Fox Cable Networks.
Mark Romano joins as Senior Vice President of the Eastern Division, based in New York. Previously, Mark served for seven years as Vice-President, Distribution Sales & Marketing with Outdoor Channel. He brings two decades of cable network experience, helping launch new networks including FX Networks, CBS College Sports Television and the VOD network Mag Rack. In 2012 CableFax honored him with its “Renewer” award for negotiating new launches and packaging improvements, adding more than two million Outdoor Channel subscribers in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Recently, he was named Affiliate Sales Executive of the Year by the Virginia Cable Television Association and received the first President's Award from the Broadband Cable Association of Pennsylvania.
