FBN continues to take shape. The Cable Gamer will predict that FBN has the same seismic shift on business news that FNC had on regular news.
Here's the latest hire:
John McCann has been named Vice President, Advertising Sales for FOX Business Network (FBN), announced Paul Rittenberg, Senior Vice President of Advertising Sales for FOX News. In his new role, McCann will oversee all advertising sales efforts for FBN, which is set to debut on October 15th, while also continuing to manage sales endeavors in Washington for FOX News.
In making the announcement Rittenberg said, “McCann has played a key role in helping the network achieve growth and profitability. He is an asset to FOX News Channel and I am confident that he will continue to excel in his new position at the FOX Business Network.”
McCann joined FOX News in 2001 as an Account Manager, where he was instrumental in helping to increase advertising sales at the network. Prior to FOX, he served as a Senior Account Executive at CNBC. He also previously held the position of New York sales manager at MMT, where he oversaw the national sales efforts for 17 MMT stations.
