Other priorities include generating revenue by selling more TV shows to other platforms, expanding film output in a time of frugality, and renewing sports rights with the NBA in an increasingly competitive and expensive market for sports programming. Many of the execs Zaslav's assembled to help him carry out these tasks are former colleagues from his Discovery days, particularly his top strategic lieutenants,, Gunnar Wiedenfels, and Bruce Campbell. Chief People Officer Adria Alpert Romm goes even farther back with Zaslav, having worked alongside him at NBCUniversal .
While Kathleen Finch has joined the mix with her portfolio of Discovery channels, top TV execs from the WarnerMedia regime — HBO's Casey Bloys and Warner Bros. TV studios chief Channing Dungey — are still in place. The company's film studios, however, have four new leaders: Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca at Warner Bros. Pictures, and James Gunn and Peter Safran at DC Studios, whose tentpole films are key to Zaslav's box office strategy.
