Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. While I'm new to my role as CEO of AMC Networks, this is a company I know very well. I started my career here and spent the last decade serving on the Board of Directors. But more than that, my background in programming, cable operations and more recently, data and analytics around viewership and advertising gives me a clear and actionable perspective on the opportunity we have here.
AMC Networks has always been known for great content and the ability to make shows that breakthrough in popular culture, receive critical acclaim and engage fans. That is the consistent theme that has defined our presence in the content landscape for years. The question today is how do we take that core competency and evolve the business for a new world of multi-platform consumption that is increasingly being driven by the consumers we serve?
