NEW YORK, April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Louis Hillelson, Group Publisher of leading television business publications Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News has announced two more additions to the lineup of keynote guests at their On Demand Summit to be presented on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 in New York City. The latest additions are Actor-Director-Producer Adrian Grenier of Reckless Productions, who is popularly known for his lead role in HBO's hit series Entourage, and Jim Packer, President of Worldwide Television and Distribution at Lionsgate. They will join other previously announced keynote guests including Jason Janego and Tom Quinn, co-presidents of RADiUS, part of The Weinstein Company, as well as Comcast Cable's Vice President of Video Services Maggie McLean Suniewick and Rentrak's Corporate President Cathy Hetzel and the company's CEO Bill Livek.

A popular annual event, the On Demand Summit focuses on the revenue growth generated on the programming side of the television business. "This Summit comes at a critical time in the television industry," said Louis Hillelson. "As technology offers consumers a wider range of viewing options, more content is available on demand. As a result, the entire business model for programming distribution, production and sponsorship is in flux. That is why this Summit's theme is about redefining on demand. The On Demand Summit provides the best opportunity for the industry to have a dialogue about the direction the industry is taking for immediate revenue growth."

Each keynote interview will address a different revenue stream. Grenier will address production; Packer will discuss distribution of video content; Janego and Quinn will speak about the current state of distributing motion pictures; Suniewick will address how pay TV is driving more viewership of on demand content; and Hetzel will present compelling data about audience measurement and will be joined by Livek who will share some findings of interest to video providers, programmers and advertisers.

In addition to the five different keynote interview sessions, there will be six roundtable discussions, each featuring leaders in the industry from advertising; pay TV and digital broadband distribution; programming and production; technology suppliers; and marketing.

The On Demand Summit will be presented on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at Convene, a business conference center located at 730 Third Avenue, 17(th) floor, at East 45(th) Street in New York City. Doors open at 8:00 a.m. The Summit program begins at 9:00 a.m., concludes at 5:15 p.m. and is followed by a closing networking reception.
