The Fox International Channels broadcast subsidiary of media company 21st Century Fox has appointed Kelly Butler as senior vice-president of pay-television broadcaster Fox Sports in Europe and Africa, according to the Broadband TV News website.
Butler joins FIC Europe & Africa’s executive team after having served as chief executive of pay-television sports broadcaster Setanta Africa, which operates in the sub-Saharan region of the continent.
FIC’s acquisition of Setanta Africa was approved by the Irish Competition Authority last month.
In her new position, Butler will be based in London.
