Executive Chairman
Comcast-owned pay-TV company Sky, with 24 million subscribers across seven European countries, had been depending on its exclusive sports coverage and Hollywood output deals to attract subscribers, but it has increasingly been high-budget original shows that are drawing customers, such as mob tale “Gangs of London” — its most binged drama — which moved from Cinemax to AMC before its U.S. bow. Sky will double its investment in originals by 2024, and in early 2020 Darroch said it would offer 80 original series to British subscribers this year — a 25% increase. Alas, in March COVID-19 shuttered 29 productions. In July, Sky was cleared to start building the massive Sky Studios Elstree near London, which will be the production base for its releases from NBCUniversal and likely generate up to an additional £3 billion ($3.79 million). In 2021, his role was shifted to executive chairman, with comcast exec Dana Strong succeeding Darroch as group CEO of Sky.
