Fox Corporation recently named David Espinosa President of Distribution. The appointment was confirmed by Chief Operating Officer, John Nallens. "We want to thank Mike for his meaningful contributions to FOX throughout his time with us and wish him continued success in his next chapter,” Nallens said. “David has been a valued member of the FOX team for seventeen years, and we are confident that his leadership and strategic insight will provide a seamless transition for the distribution team and our partners.”
Under this new role, Espinosa will oversee the company’s multi-platform content distribution for all its brands, including FOX Entertainment, FOX News, FOX Sports, Tubi and manage all aspects of distribution with the FOX-affiliated television stations in over 200 markets across the U.S. He will succeed Mike Biard, who is stepping away after more than twenty years with FOX to accept a position outside of the Company. Espinosa, who most recently served as Executive Vice President, Distribution Strategy and Business Affairs, will now report to Nallen.
Since the beginning of his tenure with FOX in 2006 Espinosa has served in increasingly senior roles for the company, and was named Executive Vice President Distribution Strategy and Business Affairs in 2018. In that role, he had oversight of the strategy of distribution agreements across cable, satellite and streaming, as well as FOX-affiliated television stations.
Before joining Fox, Espinosa spent a decade of his early career in banking, first at Banco Nacional de Mexico (Banamex) and later at Banamex USA. “It’s an honor to have the opportunity to lead such an impactful aspect of the FOX business,” Espinosa said. “The team and I look forward to continuing to work with our partners throughout the industry as we provide premium value through our defining news, sports and entertainment content as only FOX can.”
