Fox Broadcasting has promoted Joe Earley, who was marketing and communications president, to the COO slot.
He joined Fox in 1994 as senior publicist after serving a stint as media relations chief at Time Warner’s HBO cable operation.
Earley handled promotional duties for Fox hits such as “The Simpsons,” “American Idol,” “House,” “24” and “The X Factor.”
He now takes control of programming, casting, scheduling, research, digital and business affairs.
Earley reports to Kevin Reilly, chairman of entertainment. Reilly praised Earley as a creative marketing strategist who “should own the patent on the concept of 'team builder.”’ |
