Mark Silverman Steps Down as Fox Sports President/COO

FOX Sports President and COO, Mark Silverman, announces that he will be stepping away from his current role in the coming months and will move into a consulting role with the company.

Silverman joined FOX Sports in 2018 and previously was the President of Big Ten Network (BTN) since its formation in 2006.

“I am immensely proud of all that we have been able to accomplish at FOX Sports and the 11 prior years at BTN,” says Silverman. “It has been an incredibly rewarding experience working with all the talented people at FOX and creating memories that will last a lifetime. While bittersweet, I look forward to embarking on my next chapter.”

Eric Shanks, CEO and Executive Producer, FOX Sports says, “Mark has been an amazing partner through this incredible period of growth at FOX Sports. His contributions go way beyond the bottom line. Mark’s contributions to the culture here and the relationship with our partners is something we can all be proud of. Always a fun and inspirational friend, I’ll miss him around the office every day, but we will continue to press forward and work on projects that keep FOX Sports on top.”

Silverman and Shanks have led FOX Sports to new highs and record ratings over the past few years driven by success with NFL, college football, FIFA, and MLB, to name a few. Silverman’s successor will be named shortly.
