Variety: Warner Bros. TV Boss Channing Dungey to Deliver Keynote at Mipcom

Story from Variety:

Channing Dungey, Warner Bros. TV Group chairman and CEO, will deliver a keynote address at Mipcom in Cannes next month.

The executive will participate in a fireside chat on Oct. 21 in the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals as part of the “C-Suite Conversations” series in partnership with Variety.

Dungey took the helm of Warner Bros. TV Group in 2021 and oversees the studio’s production activities, which includes Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. Last month, it was announced that Dungey will also lead Warner Bros. Discovery’s U.S. Networks beginning next year.

According to a press release, Dungey’s keynote will detail her “approach to storytelling and creative leadership and explore the future-facing global production strategies behind one of the world’s most high-profile and prolific studios.”

Prior to taking the reins at Warner Bros. TV Group, Dungey made waves as the vice president of original series at Netflix and became the first Black executive to run a major television network as the president of ABC Entertainment.

“Channing Dungey continues to inspire and outpace everyone in her creative path as one of the most prolific television execs of our time,” Lucy Smith, director of Mipcom Cannes and Mipcom London, said in a statement. “She’s a development executive to the core. As this is Channing’s first-ever Mipcom, we couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome her onto the Cannes world stage to share her vision at Warner Bros. for developing timeless content for international audiences.”

This year’s Mipcom Cannes takes place from Oct. 21 to 24.
