Warner Bros. TV Boss Channing Dungey to Deliver Keynote at Mipcom

As a seasoned movie critic with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Channing Dungey’s rise to the top of the television industry is nothing short of inspiring. Her journey from being the first Black executive to run a major television network at ABC Entertainment to her current position as the chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. TV Group is a testament to her unwavering dedication, creativity, and leadership.


Channing Dungey, the head honcho of Warner Bros. Television Group as Chairman and CEO, is set to give a key speech at Mipcom in Cannes during the upcoming month.

On October 21, the executive is scheduled to join a cozy discussion (fireside chat) at the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals. This event falls under the “C-Suite Conversations” series, which is being jointly organized with EbMaster.

In 2021, Dungey assumed control over Warner Bros. TV Group and is responsible for managing the studio’s television production operations. This encompasses Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. Recently, it was disclosed that Dungey will additionally head Warner Bros. Discovery’s U.S. Networks from the following year.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m excited to share that I’ll be attending the keynote by none other than the esteemed Channing Dungey. In her talk, she’ll delve into her unique perspective on storytelling and creative leadership, offering insights into the innovative strategies that drive one of the world’s leading studios. She’ll also provide a sneak peek into their forward-thinking global production plans for the future.

Before leading Warner Bros. TV Group, Peter Dungey had already left an impression as the vice president for original series at Netflix. He then broke new ground by becoming the first African American executive to head a significant television network, serving as the president of ABC Entertainment.

Channing Dungey consistently stands out and leaves others behind in her creative journey, earning her a reputation as one of the most productive TV executives today,” stated Lucy Smith, director of Mipcom Cannes and Mipcom London. “She embodies the essence of a development executive, and with this being Channing’s debut at Mipcom, we are thrilled to finally introduce her on the Cannes stage, where she will unveil Warner Bros.’ vision for crafting everlasting content that resonates with global audiences.

This year’s Mipcom Cannes takes place from Oct. 21 to 24.
