After serving over 25 years at the studio, Keith Le Goy has taken on the role of Chairman for Sony Pictures Television. This position was previously held by Ravi Ahuja, who has now been promoted to President and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. His ascension comes as a result of Tony Vinciquerra’s departure from the company.

In his latest role, Le Goy is responsible for managing Sony’s TV production across domestic and foreign markets, encompassing their game show sector (which comprises shows like Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune) as well as the cable network GSN.
