Angela Cannon

UP Faith & Family has been on the up and up in the very capable hands of Cannon, who last year defined the marketing strategy and oversaw the execution for the SVOD service as a direct-to-consumer app. In her recently elevated post, she continues to grow the service by developing the programming strategy and marketing and partnerships, which has helped raise the subscriber base upward of 150%. “In this day and time, most networks strive to produce immersive storytelling shows that ultimately celebrate multiculturalism,” says Cannon, who cites “This Is Us” as a pinnacle.

Which current television show/s best embrace diversity?
In this day and time, most networks strive to produce immersive storytelling shows that ultimately celebrate multiculturalism. “A Million Little Things,” “Black-ish” and “Grey’s Anatomy” all embrace diversity at its best. However, if I have to narrow it down to one show, I would have to say “This Is Us” is not only inclusive but embraces ethnicities, cultures and lifestyle choices in a classy, respectable and entertaining way.
