Why Her? O’Sullivan Schulte leads one of the nation’s most successful regional sports networks, overseeing Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic’s development from a regional sports television network to a comprehensive multiplatform service, led by a rapidly growing digital arm. She birthed “SportsTalk Live” and “Redskins Nation” but didn’t rest there and continues to boost digital with Twitter feeds from show hosts and reporters, and other multiplatform offerings.
On a Saturday afternoon, you can find me… with my son, at a sporting event, or both.
Film fest or music festival? Growing up in L.A., definitely a film festival.
Favorite decade? This one. There is no better time than the present.
Favorite airport? I haven’t discovered one that I like yet.
I watch the majority of programming on this device: As a sports fan, nothing beats the big-screen TV.
The TV show title that most resembles my life is… this is too easy: “Sports Night” (of course, it hasn’t been on for a while).
Favorite vacation spot? L.A., because that is where my family is.
