Dolan, the wife of company owner James Dolan, started as CEO of AMC Networks Feb. 27, 2023, and shortly after stepped down as a member of the company’s board on March 10.

Her appointment to the position came after Christina Spade, formerly CFO of AMC Networks, stepped down in November 2022 after a very brief stint as CEO, following the exit of interim CEO Matt Blank.

Once Spade left, James Dolan was named interim executive chairman while a search began for another AMC Networks CEO, and announced that “large-scale layoffs” would be hitting the company amid a stall in growth at streaming AMC+ and its smaller platforms Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, ALLBLK and HIDIVE.
