Skyview Networks President/Chairman/CEO Steve Jones has acquired the company.
Jones joined Skyview in 2019 as President and Chief Operating Officer before rising to CEO in 2022. He previously spent over three decades at ABC News starting in 1986 as a freelance writer and moving up through the corporate ranks to VP/Programming and Operations of ABCNews.com and then to his role as Vice President and General Manager of ABC Radio where he rebuilt the brand after the sale of the former ABC Radio Networks to Citadel.
In a memo to staff, Jones wrote:
Today I am proud to share a meaningful milestone for Skyview Networks. The company has officially completed an ownership transition, where I have assumed full leadership of the company, effective immediately.
This transition further strengthens long-term direction and focus that ensures continuity. Our leadership team will continue exemplifying our company values, and our day-to-day priorities remain centered on client outcomes, operational excellence and teamwork.
It is also important to recognize Ken Thiele, who founded the company 30 years ago. He asked me to share a message with all of you:
“First and foremost, I want to thank you all. Skyview Networks exists, and is respected across the industry, because of the talent, grit and customer commitment each of you bring every day. Since joining Skyview Networks, Steve has expanded our business portfolio and led with a steady focus on growth and stability. It is with this confidence in leadership that Skyview’s trajectory and momentum continues.”
I am grateful to Ken for his trust and vision over the past seven years. I also want to acknowledge and thank additional shareholders, Diana Chamberlain and Dave Dickson, for their support throughout this process and their continued engagement with Skyview Networks in an advisory capacity.
On a personal note, I am proud of the team that has built and sustained Skyview Networks’ reputation across the industry. This company is special because of you. Serving as the leader of Skyview Networks is a responsibility I take seriously, and I am committed to continue leading with transparency, respect and a long‑term focus on our people and business.
