Annison appointed Motorsport.tv president

Motorsport Network, the automotive and motorsport digital technology business, has appointed Kevin Annison as president of its Motorsport.tv motor-racing media platform.

Annison (pictured) joins Motorsport Network having previously worked as a digital media executive at the Speed Channel television network, which was owned by US network Fox.

Motorsport Network acquired European cable network Motors TV last year and Annison will lead the newly-renamed Motorsport.tv and its global expansion efforts.

The appointment comes after Motorsport Network last week appointed Colin Smith, a former digital media vice-president at North American stock car-racing series Nascar, as its new chief executive.
