February 28, 2013 by TVA Editor

Knoxville, Tennessee – Derek Chang, who has made his mark in the satellite and cable television industry as one of the leading strategy and development executives, has been named Managing Director of Asia Pacific operations for Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. Chang, who commences his role in April and based in Singapore, will report to President of International for Scripps Networks Interactive, Jim Samples.

Chang will be responsible for designing and executing growth strategies in the Asia Pacific region for Food Network and Travel Channel, both of which are available to viewers in selected Asian markets. Chang’s focus will be on leveraging Scripps brands across all distribution platforms in the region as well as managing regional programming and marketing strategies.
