Shenken will be responsible for television-based content strategy across all platforms, as well as acquisition of US and international series and movies.

She will also continue to oversee daily scheduling and broadcast operations for the company’s four television channels, which include specialty channel VisionTV.

Previously the company’s VP of programming, Shenken is credited with “cementing” VisionTV’s position as the number-one specialty channel in Canada for female viewers over the age of 35.

Prior to her promotion in 2012 she was director of acquisitions, during which time schedule-driving UK series such as Doc Martin and Downton Abbey were picked up.
