Main Street SG hires former ESPN exec Williamson

Main Street Sports Group is expanding its senior leadership team with the appointment of former ESPN exec Norby Williamson as President of Production & Programming, effective January 13. Williamson will be responsible for overseeing live productions for NBA, NHL and MLB events, as well as original programming for FanDuel Sports Network’s 16 RSNs. Williamson’s career at ESPN stretched nearly 40 years, beginning in the mailroom in 1985. His most recent title was Executive Editor & Head of Event and Studio Production. His duties at Main Street Sports Group will include pre-game, game and post-game strategy and innovation, along with managing operations and content across linear and digital platforms. Williamson will report to Main Street Sports Group CEO David Preschlack. The moves follows Main Street Sports' rebrand from Diamond Sports Group after emerging from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (SBJ).
