The newly formed sports streaming service, created by a partnership between ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery, has announced Jessica Casano-Antonellis as their Senior Vice President of Communications. In her new position, Jessica will oversee all communication efforts for the upcoming platform and will be a vital member of the joint venture’s executive leadership team, reporting directly to CEO Pete Distad.
“Jessica’s extensive experience in the direct-to-consumer streaming space makes her the perfect fit for this role,” said Pete Distad, CEO. “Her track record of navigating complex global launches and leading transformational narratives for notable brands positions her as a trusted advisor as we embark on this exciting journey.”
“It’s a privilege to join Pete at this stage in the joint venture’s development and to be part of building something destined to delight sports fans,” said Jessica Casano-Antonellis. “It’s rare to get the opportunity to come in at the ground floor, and I can’t wait to get to work bringing the new streaming service to market this fall.”
