Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery’s still-unnamed new sports joint venture has recruited SiriusXM SVP of communications Jessica Casano-Antonellis to head up its communications. Before coming to SiriusXM in 2022, Casano-Antonellis was VP, communications for Disney+ and Hulu and head of global communications for video sharing platform Vimeo. In her new post, she will be responsible for all communications, and serve as a member of the company’s executive leadership team. “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,” said Pete Distad, CEO of the new unit. The platform, which is slated to offer live linear channels like ESPN, ABC, Fox, TNT and TBS, and games and other sports rights from all three parent companies, is expected to launch in the fall.
