Televisionation: Friday Fireside—Inside Television: Former Univision President and CRO, Tonia O’Connor

May 28, 2025

The Friday Fireside presents a special “Inside Television” episode featuring the inimitable Tonia O’Connor. I first met Tonia at TVSM, the small publishing company that brought us “The Cable Guide” (monthly) and “Total TV” (weekly) as well as DirecTV’s first guide magazine, “See.” Tonia stayed in the guide business after TVSM’s acquisition by Gemstar-TV Guide, and then moved over to Univision, ending as President and Chief Revenue Officer. She then moved into the Healing/Wellness space at Chopra Global, and now heads up The Kite, which believes that “awareness and imagination (Human and AI) are key to shaping a mindset for success.”
