FOX SPORTS MEDIA GROUP NAMES DAVID NEAL COORDINATING PRODUCER FOR XLVIII

Emmy Award-Winning Veteran Spearheads Coverage Across All FSMG Assets Including FOX Sports, , Regional Networks and Digital Platforms

New York & Los Angeles – Veteran sports producer David Neal has been appointed to the newly created position of coordinating producer for FOX Sports Media Group’s extensive multi- platform coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII next winter. The announcement was made today by FSMG Co-Presidents and COOs Randy Freer and Eric Shanks and Executive Producer and Executive Vice President of Production, John Entz. Neal joined FOX Sports Media Group in September as executive producer of its upcoming World Cup coverage, and since then has also been named executive producer of FSMG’s CONCACAF Gold Cup coverage this summer. He maintains his responsibilities for both events.

As the countdown to the biggest event in television history continues, Neal is responsible for managing all live programming broadcast by FOX Sports; FOX Sports 1, the newly minted national multi-sport cable channel launching this summer; as well as FOX Sports’ regional networks; FSMG digital platforms; and all other national and international News Corp. assets. Working closely with the NFL and the / Super Bowl Host Committee to plan and implement the network’s comprehensive offerings, Neal coordinates production and operational needs leading up to and including the game broadcast, live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Having already televised six Super Bowls since its inception in 1994, this is the first time FOX Sports has seen the need to create a position of this type.

“We have no doubt that the volume of programming we and other News Corp entities plan from New York and New Jersey in the week leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII is going to be massive, and orchestrating the efforts for all these assets in advance of the biggest television event in history is an Olympian task that very few are qualified to do,” said Shanks. “Fortunately, once we realized this, we didn’t have to look any further than down the hall to find the ideal person for the job, and everyone at FSMG is thrilled to have David at the helm.”

Before joining FSMG, Neal spent more than 30 years at NBC Sports and the Olympics overseeing coverage of several Winter and Summer Olympic Games, NBA Finals, World Series, and Super Bowl pregame shows. At NBC, Neal held dual roles as Executive Vice President of NBC Olympics, responsible for the production, programming and technical engineering departments, along with serving as Executive Producer of NBC Sports, giving him additional responsibility for all sports production. Neal spent two years leading his production company, David Neal Productions, right before joining FSMG.
