David Levy, the former president of WarnerMedia’s cable and sports assets and longtime entertainment executive, has joined Strax Networks Inc., a technology company that specializes in spatial computing and augmented reality. He will serve on the board of directors, and will be based in New York.
Levy oversaw Turner’s domestic broadcast portfolio, ad sales, and distribution businesses. He joined the company in 1986. From 2013 to 2019, he held the role of Turner’s president — with oversight of Turner Sports, TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and other properties. During his tenure at TBS, Levy boosted investment in original premium content and negotiated major deals with the NCAA, PGA, NBA and MLB, and was directly responsible for Turner’s acquisition of the Bleacher Report in 2012, picked by Adweek readers as 2011’s “Best Sports Media Brand”. In addition, he also launched BrLive, one of the first sports OTT direct to consumer streaming services.
