New York – Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, the executives responsible for the development and creation of many of MTV’s hits, announced the formation of their new company, DiGa. An independent production company, DiGa will create, develop and produce programming across all platforms in partnership with Ben Silverman’s multimedia studio, Electus, an operating business of IAC. The company will be headquartered in New York City with a production/edit centre in Los Angeles. DiSanto, who first started out as an MTV production assistant in 1989, quickly rose through the ranks and built a highly successful twenty year career at the network. In 2003, DiSanto served as MTV’s head of production where he supervised the studio, specials and events.
