President / CEO
As CEO of AMC Networks since 1995, Sapan has grown its cable portfolio to include AMC, IFC, Sundance TV, WE tv and BBC America. Gambles such as “The Walking Dead,” “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” paid off in ratings, acclaim and awards while rebranding the former American Movie Classics into a go-to for original drama. Then he used the lessons he learned from repositioning mothership AMC to help the other channels redefine their brands, with mission accomplished apparent in IFC’s “Portlandia” and “Documentary Now!” and BBC America’s “Killing Eve.” New acquisition Acorn TV, which specializes in British dramas and mysteries, joins Shudder, Sundance Now and Urban Movie Channel (UMC) in AMC’s SVOD portfolio, adding subscribers at a rapid clip.
