Silverman hasn’t yet put together a detailed forecast, but he says the network should be profitable based on growing advertising revenue and money from new international distribution deals.
New York-based parent company News Corp. has said the network recorded its first profitable quarter late last year.
Silverman said the network’s biggest source of revenue is the fees cable companies and satellite distributors pay to carry it. He declined to provide specifics.
Silverman said he also plans to work on network production quality. And he wants to produce more original programs, such as a game show.
