AMC Networks named Kristin Dolan, wife of Executive Chairman James Dolan, as the media company’s new CEO. Kristin Dolan, 56, was chief operating officer at Cablevision Systems before the family sold it in 2015 and has served as a director of AMC Networks, which was spun off from Cablevision and is still controlled by the Dolan family. Most recently, she has been CEO of 605, an audience measurement and data analytics company.
Charter Communications has made an undisclosed investment in the advertising data and analytics company 605, which is run by former Cablevision COO Kristin Dolan. Under the agreement with 605, Charter will supply the company with aggregated and anonymized data culled from its network of pay-TV set-top boxes. In turn, 605 will use its proprietary data infrastructure and analytics capabilities to enhance Spectrum Reach, Charter’s advertising sales unit.
