FX Publicity Icon John Solberg to Depart After Nearly 30 Years of Helping Build a Programming Powerhouse
FX publicity icon John Solberg will depart after nearly 30 years of helping build a programming powerhouse.
John Solberg, FX’s longtime head of communications and the exec who helped turn what had been a nascent cable network into a powerhouse programming brand bursting with critically acclaimed and award-winning series, has decided to step down. Solberg joined FX more than 28 years ago, back when the network was known mostly for repeats of primetime fare like “The X-Files.” He was hired in March 1997 as director of media relations, then had promotions to VP, SVP and ultimately, EVP of publicity. The intellectual and creative horsepower of every department leader leaves me in awe daily—Kate, Jonathan, Katcher, Chuck, Kelly, Karen, Julie P., Kim, Nick, Sally, Ethan, Steve, Lance, Kenna, Kenya, Michael, Jason and Shola.
