NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- John Nallen, Chief Operating Officer of Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX), today announced that David Espinosa has been appointed President of Distribution, Fox Corporation. He will succeed Mike Biard, who is stepping away after more than twenty years with FOX to accept a position outside of the Company. Espinosa, who most recently served as Executive Vice President, Distribution Strategy and Business Affairs, will now report to Nallen.

In this role, Espinosa will oversee the company's multi-platform content distribution for all its brands, including FOX Entertainment, FOX News, FOX Sports, Tubi and manage all aspects of distribution with the FOX-affiliated television stations in over 200 markets across the U.S.

"It's an honor to have the opportunity to lead such an impactful aspect of the FOX business," said Espinosa. "The team and I look forward to continuing to work with our partners throughout the industry as we provide premium value through our defining news, sports and entertainment content as only FOX can."
