Mark Silverman

Fox Sports’ success in recent years has happened with Silverman’s oversight of live event and studio programming, production, marketing and digital for the company’s portfolio. Fox’s college football pregame show “Big Noon Kickoff” beat “College GameDay” for the first time ever in ratings on top of several game-viewership milestones in 2023. On the hardwood, Fox Sports had its most-watched college hoops game since 2008 and its most-watched women’s game ever. Studio shows like “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” and “First Things First” also had their most-watched years in their histories.

TV series everyone should binge: I enjoyed the “Full Swing” series.

Favorite way to de-stress? Either a golf round with my old college friends or reading a book in my backyard.

Book, movie or TV series that greatly influenced my leadership style: My early Disney mentors taught me key management rules by watching “The Godfather” in their office and they would stop and repeat the key learnings of various scenes.

Fast food guilty pleasure: Tommy’s Burgers. I wish I could rationalize going there more than once or twice a year!
