S Brennan Media

I've been helping media companies strategize and launch new services since the 1990s when I first envisioned SVOD channels on Cablevision's lineup. We built "channel publishing portals" and launched "24" and "The Shield" with FOX as the country's first show-specific SVOD channels. Later, I moved to Fox Networks and helped build strategies for its many networks across a wide spectrum of emerging technologies. I also helped launch Hulu and negotiated all of its licensing agreements with its broadcast owners until I left in 2019. I negotiated Fox's first streaming deals with YouTube TV and others, and evaluated dozens of startups - including a few household names in 2025! At every step of my career, I've wanted to know "What's next and what's new?" That's been my north star, and the reason I've had so much fun along the way.

​

I've also done expert witness testimony and helped legal teams understand the nuances of arcane topics like Nielsen ratings analysis, streaming versus broadcast technology, and many related topics. I have a plain-spoken midwesterner's ability to cut to the chase and explain complex things in simple language, and am equally at ease talking with lawyers, engineers, finance or marketing teams.

​

Since 2022, I have helped select clients with product development, content licensing, business strategy, technical & business operations, team building and more. I'm on several advisory boards and keep my ear to the ground by attending conferences and serving as a conduit between startups and potential clients. I'm a member of the Progress Partners Executives in Residence program, where I have access to a large network of superstars across a wide spectrum of industries.
