The British TV veteran, and former Kudos CEO, gave the keynote speech at the international TV conference MIPTV.
She noted that it was good to be back in person at MIPTV, “breaking bread with people and having a drink and a sit-down and a conversation, is critical to our European business.”
“In 2019, with Liz [Murdoch] who has been my friend and investor for many years, we were just talking about what’s next. She had been talking to Stacey Snider about how storytelling had evolved, and the way we were now listening to podcasts, more IP coming from comics, coming from all over the place,” said Featherstone.
“Our business is driven by technological change,” said Featherstone. “We like to work with creators that are innovative and see the future, and Richard is one of those. He’s an incredible format innovator and has brilliant ideas about using technology and creativity to come up with new ideas. We need to keep surprising our audiences.”
