Deadline; Deborah McBride Dies: A+E Networks Corporate Communications Exec Was 45

Story from Deadline:

Deborah McBride, a veteran A+E Networks corporate communications executive who previously worked at Turner Broadcasting System, has died after a short battle with brain cancer.

A+E confirmed the news to employees in recent days.

McBride was 45. She is survived by her husband, Brendan, and their children, Elyse, Sean and Margot.

After joining A+E in 2019, McBride rose to the post of VP, Corporate Communications, working closely with the ad sales group and heading up publicity efforts around the upfront marketplace and related activities. During a 7-year run at Turner, she helped lead communications for the ad sales division, with a particular focus on CNN and the company’s digital properties. Earlier career chapters saw her take on roles at G4 Media, GSN and data and analytics firm Dun & Bradstreet.

“Deb was an earth angel who generated warmth, kindness, love, smarts and humor,” A+E Networks said in a statement. “Her laughter was contagious. She was quite literally a beacon of light to all who knew her. Her positivity and tremendous joy for life made the whole word brighter for everyone she met.”
