A+E Networks said it has named Mark Garner to the new role of executive VP, head of global FAST Channels, effective immediately.

A+E, known for cable networks including A&E, History and Lifetime, launched its first free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel, History Shorts, in 2018. It now has 20 free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels in the lifestyle, competition, true crime and movie genres.

Garner, who has been with A+E for 23 years, most recently served as executive VP, global content partnerships and business development.

In his new post, Garner will concentrate his efforts on accelerating the growth of A+E’s FAST business internationally while continuing to build U.S. reach and performance.
