Comcast Cable said it has named former Epix executive Monty Sarhan as senior VP of content acquisition, reporting to president of content acquisition Greg Rigdon.
Sarhan will work on programming negotiations and manage the unit’s nationwide field operations across the cable company’s 39-state (and Washington D.C.) footprint , its compliance and finance functions, and other content-related partnerships. He succeeds Jen Gaiski, who said in June she would leave the company at year‘s end.
