- Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) is adding former Scripps Networks Interactive CEO/Chairman Kenneth Lowe to its board of directors.
- Lowe led Scripps Networks Interactive through its sale to WBD predecessor Discovery in 2018, and was president and CEO of E.W. Scripps from 2000-2008 (at which point Scripps Networks Interactive split off from E.W. Scripps).
- He was also on Discovery's board from March 2018 until that company's merger with WarnerMedia closed in April 2022.
- He's joining the board effective April 2, taking over the spot created by the upcoming retirement of Robert Bennett.
- “As the Company looks to advance its strategic priorities, Ken’s entrepreneurial spirit, deep industry knowledge and distinctive insights into the WBD brands make him a uniquely valuable addition to the Board," said Chairman Samuel Di Piazza Jr.
