New York-based Cablevision spun AMC off in 2011, but still controls voting rights, and the company has been the subject of takeover rumors in recent months.
Maiella, VP of media relations at Cablevision Systems, tackles business and trade media relations for the operator of cable networks AMC, IFC and WE tv and the IFC Films unit. He works alongside Georgia Juvelis, also senior VP/corporate comms., who handles AMCN’s Sundance Channel, AMC/Sundance Channel Global, along with corporate marketing and comms. assignments.
Maiella guided media relations for Cablevision’s cable operations and telecommunications products in a 10-year career there.
Maiella reports to EVP, comms. and marketing, Ellen Kroner.
AMC in February hired WPP’s Glover Park Group in Washington amid the takeover speculation. Sloane & Company, New York, is outside PR counsel.
MTV alum Marnie Black is senior VP of PR at AMC.
