Hong Kong/Culver City, CA – Todd Miller, executive vice president, networks, Asia-Pacific, will be leaving Sony Pictures Television (SPT), announced Andy Kaplan, president, networks, SPT. Miller will depart the company April 15. As executive vice president, Miller spearheaded development and operations of SPT’s portfolio of channels in Asia-Pacific including SPT’s branded television networks AXN, AXN BEYOND, ANIMAX and Sony Entertainment Television (SET) throughout Asia, as well as ONE and PIX-branded subscription VOD services. Under his direction, the company launched several new channels, including most recently, ONE in Malaysia. Miller also facilitated AXN’s recent joint venture with CU Media and imminent expansion in Korea. “It’s been a thrilling tenure with Sony,” said Miller. “After helping SPT build and operate winning businesses in Asia for nearly 17 years, and with Sony’s networks on top in Asia, this is the right time for me to take an extended sabbatical from the corporate world. I plan to focus on family, to deepen my involvement with Asian children charities, and do some more cycling in my quest to ultimately circumnavigate the planet on two wheels.” Previously, Miller was SPT’s executive vice president and managing director, Asia. Prior to that, Miller was based in Singapore and oversaw all operations and day-to-day activities of SPE Networks – Asia. Before joining SPT in 1994, he worked at STAR TV Asia.
