Euronews has appointed Grégory Samak world director of broadcasting and programme marketing.

Michael Peters, chairman of the Euronews executive board, said: “Grégory’s mission encompasses not only the on-air version of the channel but all of its media, since he will also be responsible for building greater synergies between the content base of the various digital platforms (the internet, smart TV, mobile applications) on a worldwide scale.”
