Greg Moyer is an award-winning television and digital media executive with deep international experience and a track record of innovation in channel design, brand positioning, programming, marketing, and global distribution. A creative and inspirational leader, Moyer built and operated esteemed brands such as Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, VOOM HD, and Food Network International.

Last year Moyer founded a new company, Blue Chalk Media, which produces high quality, short-form documentary videos for distribution by journalism brands and companies wanting to show their products or services in the context of authentic storytelling.

Before joining the entrepreneurial ranks, Moyer joined Scripps Networks Interactive to become the first president of Scripps Networks International.  Within three years, Moyer launched the Food Network and Fine Living Network into 85 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and SE Asia while significantly expanding its long-standing program sales and syndication business.  He also led Scripps to acquire a 50% interest in UKTV, 10 cable and satellite channels co-owned by the BBC, and 100% of the Travel Channel International, allowing Scripps to expand its domestic Travel Channel franchise into 91 countries and 20 languages.

Prior to Scripps, Moyer led VOOM HD Networks, a new business unit started by Cablevision founder Charles Dolan, designed to provide abundant HD programming across 15 cable and satellite channels in the U.S. Under Moyer’s leadership, VOOM HD also launched two pioneering HD channels into 36 countries overseas and was acclaimed for its innovative channel packaging and design. At Cablevision, the dominant cable operator serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, he took the newly created post of President, Regional Programming. There he was responsible for five regional news channels, five hyper-local Traffic and Weather channels, and two city-centric lifestyle and entertainment services.

Moyer began his television career in 1985 as one of the first 20 employees hired at a newly launched cable service called “The Discovery Channel”.  Over the span of 13 years, he led communications and marketing, then programming, then all aspects of the domestic networks, Discovery Channel and TLC. Ultimately Moyer was the first to hold the title of Chief Creative Officer where he operated as the brand steward responsible for all Discovery product development across television, retail, and digital. While in charge of programming, Discovery was honored with five George Foster Peabody Awards for programming excellence.
