AETN rejigs ahead of channel launch

AETN All Asia Networks is rejigging its senior executive team as it prepares to add Lifetime and H2 to its channel offering later this year.

The company, a joint venture between A+E Networks and Astro All Asia Entertainment Networks, will add the channels to History, Crime & Investigation Network and Bio, which it already broadcasts across South East Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In preparation, Joyce Lim has been promoted to director of programme scheduling, expanding the role she has held since 2007 to cover the scheduling of the two new channels.

Chris Humphrey is now director of production. He joined the network in 2008 and has since produced Hidden Cities Extreme on History, My Ghost Story Asia for Bio and Asia’s Underworld for Crime & Investigation among other series and specials.

Finally, Lachlan Madsen has been promoted to head of the on-air creative department, managing on air resources and budgets and supporting marketing and ad sales.
