Craig Hunegs, former Warner Bros TV group's head of business and former president of the studio's digital networks wing, will be taking up the role when the acquisition is complete
PUBLISHED MAR 6, 2019

Things seem to be moving hard and fast at the Walt Disney Company. With the Disney-Fox merger — first announced in December 2017 — likely to be closed in the coming weeks, the Company has already taken its first step towards the future. After current CFO for Fox Networks Group Ravi Ahuja was named the CFO of Disney Television while Robert Langer, CFO of Disney/ABC Television, transitions to executive VP of Finance and planning for the parent company after the merger is complete, Disney announced on Tuesday who the new president of their Disney Television Studio will be.

Craig Hunegs, former Warner Bros TV group's head of business and former president of the studio's digital networks wing, will be taking up the role when the acquisition is complete. With Hunegs' 25 years of expertise at Warner Bro TV's digital wing, it definitely looks like Disney+ is in great hands.
