John Najarian

Najarian capped a successful 2014—including E!’s strongest year yet on the digital front—with a promotion that put him in charge of the news division and news information programming for the linear network, as well as the digital side. And E!’s pop culture-loving demographic seems to fit right in with the social media trends driving so much of the zeitgeist. “With mobile and social it’s an always-on consumer driving always-on content discovery and consumption,” Najarian says. “I’d say that puts us in a good spot, but of course opportunity like that opens the door to many new competitors.”
