Dennis Miller is stepping away from his role as CW network president after two years in the position.
Miller has been running the Nexstar-owned network since appointed by Nexstar CEO Perry Sook in fall 2022 alongside new CW president of entertainment Brad Schwartz, an alum of Paramount Global. Prior to his appointment, Miller was a member of Nexstar’s board of directors.
In his short tenure running the CW after Nexstar’s acquisition of the broadcaster from Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount, Miller secured the rights to LIV Golf in January 2023 then locked in deals to air WWE’s “NXT” and NASCAR’s Xfinity beginning this fall and bring ACC basketball and football to the CW every Saturday, as well as agreements for Pac-12 football and “Inside the NFL.” All of this expansion into live sports strengthened the broadcast network’s ad sales under Miller, with more than 15 new sports advertisers and partners, including Verizon, Subaru and Walmart for ACC football.
