Sony Pictures Television Networks (SPT Networks) is changing its management structure as it relates to Africa and South Africa.
SPT Networks' channel brands in South Africa include Sony Entertainment Television (DStv 113) and Sony Max (DStv 126).
The international channels arm of the Hollywood studio is splitting the traditional Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region into two: Western Europe, and then Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA).
Lyle Marsh has been promoted to senior vice president for the CEEMEA region and he will report to Andy Kaplan, the president of SPT Networks. "Following a significant period of expansion in EMEA, it is clear that to accomplish the next stage of our growth it is time to look at the region in two parts," says Sony Pictures Television Networks in a statement.
SPT Networks will continue to be headquartered in London.
