Revolt Names a New CEO

Former MGM Studios TV Group & Digital President Roma Khanna has been named CEO of Revolt Media and TV. At the music-themed digital cable network, founded by Chairman Sean Combs and backed by Comcast, Khanna will fill the void left by the departure of original Revolt TV CEO Keith T. Clinkscales, who left a year ago. The University of Toronto graduate earned her Masters from York University and her J.D. from the University of Detroit. Launched in October 2013, Revolt was among the new minority-owned channels Comcast committed to carrying when seeking approval for the merger with NBCUniversal. She began her career at the law firm Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP before she jumped to the entertainment industry as a Manager of Business Affairs for Sony Music Entertainment. “As Revolt continues to grow as a brand and expand globally, I knew we needed a seasoned executive with a proven track record to keep the momentum going and help me lead the network into the future,” said Combs. “Roma is that person.” More here.
