Allen Media Group Expands Board Of Directors

Allen Media Group says it will expand its board of directors from its original three members to a new total of nine, effective immediately.

Allen Media was called Entertainment Studios when it was founded in 1993, and the original board of directors consisted of Founder/Chairman/CEO Byron Allen; Carolyn Folks, his mother and Entertainment Studios executive producer; and Chief Operating Officer Terence Hill.

In addition to those original three, Allen Media Group’s six new directors are all AMG executives:

• Janice Arouh, president, network distribution
• Mark DeVitre, EVP-general counsel
• Eric Gould, EVP of finance/chief investment officer
• Sydnie Karras, VP/chief acounting officer
• Chris Malone, CFO
• Andy Temple, COO, broadcast sales and syndication

Byron Allen said: “For the past 30 years, I’ve been working with a small board of three directors, but now that Allen Media Group is much bigger as we’ve become highly acquisitive, I am excited to announce the addition of these six new board members.

“I am extremely proud of this board because it is diverse, and the people who make it up are simply the best because they know our business and the media space innately, which allows us to move quickly and efficiently in this rapidly changing landscape.”
