EXCLUSIVE: V10 Entertainment, the company that owns America’s Funniest Videos producer Vin Di Bona Productions, has a new President.
The company, which acquired Vin Di Bona’s company last year, has named former Paramount Global executive Carter Skeath to the role.
The move comes as V10 Entertainment has acquired the global distribution rights to AFV from The Walt Disney Company. AFV, which is hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, is currently in its 35th season on ABC, making it the longest-running primetime entertainment show in the network’s history.
Skeath was previously SVP, Sales at Paramount Global Content Distribution.
He will now lead all commercial and business development efforts for the company, overseeing V10 Studios and V10 Distribution as well as its library content.
In addition to now distributing AFV, the company distributes series such as The CW’s Follow Me and Totally Funny Animals as well as Peacock’s Blue Collar Auctions internationally and across FAST channels.
