G4 promoted Josh Krane to senior vice president of interactive and new media.
Krane will oversee all aspects of the network's interactive and new-media strategy including G4's multiplatform, nonlinear content offering known as the G4 Multiplex.
G4's Multiplex expands the network's reach beyond linear television to broadband, podcasting, video-on-demand, mobile, download-to-own, third-party partnerships and game consoles such as the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360.
Krane joined G4 in 2001 prior to the network's launch. During his tenure with the network, he has shaped G4's new-media strategy and developed applications, content and programming strategies for all of G4's interactive and new-media platforms. His contributions include developing the network's Web presence at G4TV.com and guiding programming throughout the network's nonlinear platforms, including VOD, mobile, podcasting and streaming video services.
Krane was also behind the development of G4's digital download-to-own offering with partners including BitTorrent and DivX, and he recently oversaw the launch of G4's Wii portal, the first video broadband portal designed specifically for Nintendo's Wii game console.
Prior to joining G4, Krane served as director of Internet services for Pseudo, an online television network.
