Sure, A+E Networks’ brands—including History, Lifetime and the flagship network—are home to several of cable’s top nonfiction series. But Buccieri’s accomplishments go well beyond ratings. He transformed A+E Studios and A+E Factual Studios into sought-after content suppliers for third-party outlets including Netflix, Hulu, Apple and Amazon, with 70 productions currently in development across multiple platforms. He spearheaded the company’s acquisition of a stake in Range Media Partners, which opened opportunities for A+E Nets to create scripted and unscripted content on a global scale, and he remains committed to using the A+E platform for good. Last year Buccieri created a heart- health awareness campaign, “Don’t Skip a Beat,” in partnership with the American Heart Association that featured celebrity-driven PSAs across multiple A+E networks.
