20th Century FOX has tapped Keith Feldman as Worldwide Head of Distribution of content according to a new article from Deadline.com. This guy is basically in charge of:

Customer engagement and activities across global physical and digital home entertainment transactional businesses for Fox and its third-party partners. He also will be responsible for the strategic alignment and growth of key global customers including Amazon, Comcast, Google Play, iTunes and Xbox, among others. Feldman also will oversee Fox’s disc, VOD and digital HD business as well as licensing and commercial negotiations with global and local digital platforms.

It will be interesting to see how Keith values DVD/Blu-Ray distribution over internet distribution. Recently, 20th Century FOX animated programming like The Cleveland Show, American Dad, and Bob’s Burgers, have been transitioning to MOD(manufacture-on-demand) releases which has certainly been short-changing fans of getting any cool behind-the-scenes or special features materials for their favorite FOX shows.  MAYBE Keith can say something to someone about increasing the value in releases such the way that Warner Home Video certainly does.
