“Under the leadership of our founder, Mother Angelica, Ewtn learned to constantly adopt new technologies to reach souls,” Warsaw said. “Like our main pairs in secular media, this change in the structure will allow EWTN to expand our content offer and reach new audiences in places where people now consume media, always keeping anchored in the teachings of the Church.”
President of Ewtn Studios: Peter Gagnon
Gagnon, appointed president of Ewtn Studios after 32 years in the chain, has been a pioneer in content production initiatives, global expansion and multilingual offers, and has experience leading the coverage of papal conclaves, jubilee and other world events.
Gagnon has a deep understanding of Ewtn and his legacy, since he is one of the few team members who worked with the founder of the chain, the Angelica mother.
“Ewtn began offering Mass, the most essential expression of what Ewtn exists to take the world,” Gagnon said. “And I am excited to embark in this crucial moment in the history of Ewtn while we take the following steps to continue the mission of the Angelica mother to proclaim the truths of faith both to our current audience and to a whole new generation of Catholics.”
Ewtn Studios will continue the legacy of the organization to create shocking content in the Catholic field, producing attractive content in a way that reflects the changing nature of evolving media and technologies.
President of Ewtn Digital: Sean Graber
Graber will be the president of Ewtn Digital. It has an MBA of the Tuck School of Business in Dartmouth College and has a solid experience in business strategy, digital transformation and product management.
“Mother Angelica was the innovative original, and it is an honor and an emotion to continue her legacy carrying Ewtn’s message to the next generation of Catholics, a message that has deeply shaped my own life of faith,” said Engerr.
“I am excited how this reorganization positions EWTN to reinvent the Catholic media at such an inspiring moment for the Church, while many rediscovered their faith and celebrate the historic choice of an American Pope.”
Ewtn Digital will also focus on building platforms to distribute the content of Ewtn Studios and other online media with the mission of the chain, to serve both the traditional EWTN public and new generations of consumers. Will also launch and manage a platform of streaming On a global scale that will house the collection of the most beloved Catholic stories and personalities in the world.
Ewtn’s future
“In these new roles, Peter and are contributed perspectives, trajectories and legacies to the Ewtn family,” said Warsaw. “They are the ideal choice to guide these important new initiatives in EWTN.”
In its 45th year, EWTN continues its service mission as the world’s largest Catholic media organization. As the chain opens new doors and expands its audience, Warsaw said it is “incredibly excited by this new era in Ewtn’s history.”
“We will build new platforms that are first class, where our audiences can interact with our content as part of their daily faith path,” Warsaw said. “Ewtn will continue to be present wherever thirsty souls are found.”
