Ivan Fecan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivan Fecan is the President and CEO of CTVglobemedia and the CEO of its CTV television network.

Fecan was born in Toronto in 1953. He attended York University, receiving a BA in Fine Arts. In 1984, at the age of 31, Ivan was offered a job with NBC. He served as their vice-president of creative development for two years, before returning to Canada and the CBC.

Fecan took the role of director of television programming at the CBC in 1987. Some of the shows that Fecan ushered in during his tenure at CBC include Degrassi High, Road to Avonlea, The Kids in the Hall, Royal Canadian Air Farce and This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

Fecan left CBC and joined Baton Broadcasting in January 1994 as Senior Group Vice President and became Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in January 1995. Fecan became President and CEO of Baton in 1996. Fecan built Baton into a cross-Canada broadcasting powerhouse by purchasing CTV affiliates in nearly every major market in the country (thus enabling itself to be renamed CTV Inc.). The new CTV organization in 1999 purchased Netstar Communications, owners of TSN. This made CTV an important player in Canada's cable television industry.

In 2000, CTV was purchased by Bell Canada Enterprises. BCE immediately merged CTV with The Globe and Mail to form Bell Globemedia, later renamed CTVglobemedia, of which Fecan became President and CEO.
