AMC Networks International has appointed Tom Keaveney as executive vice president and managing director of AMCNI-UK, effective immediately.
Based in London, Keaveney will lead AMCNI-UK’s business operations, overseeing programming and marketing, and supporting the group’s expanding FAST strategy. He will work closely with AMC Networks International’s global commercial revenue, content licensing, finance and technology teams, reporting to Eduardo Zulueta, president of AMC Networks International.
Zulueta said Keaveney joins the UK operation “at a time of great opportunity” as the business looks to grow audience engagement across owned and partner platforms, deepen relationships with key industry partners and maximise the value of AMC’s content and brands.
Keaveney joins from iSpot.tv, where he served as EVP and head of business development. Before 605, LLC was acquired by iSpot.tv, he was president of the advanced data and analytics firm, leading go-to-market, product and strategy. Earlier roles include CEO of Worn Again Technologies (2018-2021) and co-founder and president of AdScribe Limited (2014-2023), alongside senior positions at Emuse Corporation and Morgan Ventures. He began his career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs.
AMCNI-UK said it built momentum in 2025 across streaming and advertising initiatives, while continuing to develop its linear brands True Crime, True Crime Xtra, Legend and Legend Xtra, operated through a joint venture with Paramount. The business has been widening distribution for its FAST and AVOD services, citing launches on Virgin Media, Freely and 5 Stream, alongside established availability on platforms including ITVX.
AMCNI-UK distributes channels and streaming brands across the UK and Ireland, with carriage spanning Sky, Virgin Media, Freesat, Freely, YouView and Freeview, and AVOD/FAST distribution including ITVX, 5 Stream, Amazon Prime, Pluto TV, Rakuten TV, LG Channels and Samsung TV+.
