Rob Wade Restructures Fox Entertainment Operations: Michael Thorn Adds Network Unscripted, Fernando Szew To Head Studios


Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade is realigning the company's content and business operations into three groups, the Fox Television Network, Fox Entertainment Studios and content sales sales arm Fox Entertainment Global.

Thorn, most recently President of Fox Entertainment, Scripted Programming, will also oversee the network’s unscripted fare, including hits such as The Masked Singer and the Gordon Ramsay shows. He has steered the network’s scripted operations ever since as it made the transition from a vertically integrated broadcast net to an independent following the 2019 Disney acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets. Recent tiles include Daughter of the Bride with Marcia Gay Harden, Christmas is Canceled starring Dermot Mulroney and Chrissy Metz’s Stay Awake.
