Fox has appointed Pete Distad as CEO of its upcoming streaming service, which is expected to launch by the end of 2025.
The former Apple TV+ and Hulu executive transitions to the role from the recently scrapped Venu Sports, where he was set to be chief executive. Distad will report to Tubi Media Group CEO Paul Cheesbrough and will assume oversight of all aspects of the upcoming platform.
“Pete is a proven leader with deep experience in consumer products, and we’re thrilled to have him join the team to lead this new platform,” Cheesbrough said on Thursday. “His track record of innovation, execution and building world-class streaming products speaks for itself, and we’re confident that under his leadership, we will deliver a best-in-class service that showcases Fox’s premium content and brands.”
