AOL’s hiring of former Viacom exec McCormack could very well signal a renewed commitment to its investment in original programming. For his part, McCormack recently introduced AOL Rise and formed a partnership with Derek Jeter’s sports-focused The Players’ Tribune. “There’s so much opportunity to create innovative, engaging content across all screens,” he says. “We need to make content built from the ground up for new devices and make discovery a lot easier for the consumer.”
