Christina Miller
President & GM, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang, Turner Broadcasting
Cartoon Network ended 2015 as the top ad-supported network with kids and boys 6-11, and Miller is a key reason for the success. Since taking charge of the network in 2014, she’s heightened its programming suite on television and across platforms, leading the charge to reach Cartoon’s young audience wherever and however they want to consume content. Among highlights, this year saw the return of “The Powerpuff Girls” with a new modern look and vibe—an event Miller names along with the election as among the industry’s top stories of 2016. When not saving the world before bedtime, she enjoys watching “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” and “Veep.”
