Kevin Reilly has been promoted to Chairman of Entertainment for FOX Broadcasting Company (FOX). In his new role, Reilly will oversee all programming, scheduling, marketing, research, digital and business affairs at the network.

Under his leadership, the network launched Emmy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon Glee, and most recently introduced New Girl, the network’s highest-rated sitcom in 10 years, as well as The X Factor, last season’s top new unscripted series.

Reilly has also bolstered FOX’s leadership and investment in digital and social media, and was the architect behind the recently launched Animation Domination HD – an independent production subsidiary now ramping up production to generate alternative animation for digital channels and a late-night block on FOX.

According to FOX, over the course of Reilly’s tenure, the company extended its reign as the number one network among adults 18-49 for a record eight consecutive seasons and has dominated among the young adults 18-34 and teen demographics.
