Patrick Delaney announced as head of FOX Sports

FOXTEL CEO Mr Kim Williams today warmly congratulated Mr Patrick Delany on his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of Fox Sports

“I would like also to pay tribute to David Malone who has run Fox Sports for the last 12 years.  David has done a really great job in overseeing an extraordinary transformation of Fox Sports.  David and his team have transformed Fox Sports - taking it from an analogue only operation to one that today offers FOXTEL customers ten sports channels and a wide range of interactive services,” Mr Williams said. 

“Patrick Delany is one of the most outstanding executives I have ever worked with and his is a superb appointment to run Fox Sports, which provides such a fundamentally important suite of channels to FOXTEL” Mr Williams said. 

“In April 2002 I invited Patrick to join me at FOXTEL to drive the development and roll-out of FOXTEL Digital.  In his time at FOXTEL Patrick has done a truly amazing job in overseeing the launch of a wide range of products including FOXTEL Digital, FOXTEL iQ, FOXTEL HD, FOXTEL on Xbox 360, and FOXTEL on T-box”

Patrick has played a key part in transforming Australia’s television landscape as FOXTEL today offers Australians massively expanded choice, fantastic digital pictures and sound, and control over their television viewing.  We offer our customers the ability to watch what they want, when they want and over a device of their choice.  Patrick has played an absolutely critical part in making this happen.” 

Patrick has also done a stellar job in driving FOXTEL’s Sales operations in times of real consumer caution.  During the height of the GFC Patrick oversaw FOXTEL’s sales team attaining some of the highest sales in FOXTEL’s history.” 

I am really looking forward to working with Patrick and Fox Sports in partnership as we move towards offering our customers even greater breadth and depth of coverage to the already very impressive Fox Sports offerings.” 

Finally, I’d like to thank David Malone for the enormous amount he’s done for FOXTEL and our sector and wish him the very best for the future” Mr Williams said.
