EWTN Transforms Global Catholic Media with New Organizational Structure

EWTN Announces Structural Evolution in Global Catholic Media

EWTN Global Catholic Network has embarked on a significant transformation under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Michael P. Warsaw. The announcement made on July 21, 2025, heralds a new era for this prestigious organization as it adapts to the evolving digital landscape while staying firmly rooted in its mission of fostering a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith.

New Divisions for Future Growth

To forward its objectives, EWTN is implementing a new organizational structure composed of two primary divisions: EWTN Studios and EWTN Digital. This split aims to enhance content creation while streamlining distribution to effectively reach both existing and new audiences.

EWTN Studios

EWTN Studios will uphold and expand upon the network's long-standing legacy of producing impactful Catholic content. This division's mission will not only focus on creating engaging multimedia content that resonates with the faithful but also on collaborating with creative talents, thereby enriching the diversity and reach of its programs. The evolution in media production and workflow technology will play a crucial role in this undertaking, ensuring that EWTN Studios remains at the forefront of Catholic media.

Peter Gagnon has been appointed the President of EWTN Studios. Gagnon, a 32-year veteran of EWTN, carries invaluable experience in content production and global programming. His history with EWTN positions him excellently to lead this pivotal new chapter. As he noted, “EWTN began with the Mass, and I am eager to embark on this new path that aligns with Mother Angelica's mission of bringing faith to the masses.”

EWTN Digital

In parallel, EWTN Digital will be tasked with building robust platforms for the distribution of content created by EWTN Studios as well as other aligned creatives. This venture includes launching a globally scaled streaming platform aimed at housing the most beloved Catholic stories and personalities, ultimately positioning EWTN to serve new generations and engage its historical audience in relevant ways.

Sean Graber has been entrusted with the presidency of EWTN Digital, bringing an impressive background in business strategy and digital transformation. Graber expressed enthusiasm about continuing Mother Angelica's legacy, stating, “It's humbling to carry forward her vision while making EWTN’s message accessible to the next generation of Catholics.”

Acknowledging the Legacy and Looking Ahead

This structural shift is not merely an operational change; it is an evolution propelled by faith. As Warsaw explained, “This reorganization allows EWTN to expand our offerings and reach new audiences in places where they consume media today, all while remaining anchored in the teachings of the Church.” The new structure provides EWTN with the agility and innovation necessary to thrive within the competitive global media environment.

As the Catholic Church experiences a new moment of growth and exploration, EWTN’s evolution signals a readiness to nurture this journey. In its 46 years of operation, EWTN has built a global community, reaching over 435 million homes through its channels. With the recent announcement of the historical election of an American pope, the timing of this transformation seems fortuitous.

Commitment to the Mission

“Trusting in God’s Providence, I am immensely excited about the next era of EWTN’s history,” Warsaw concluded. “We will build state-of-the-art platforms where our audiences can engage with our content, supporting their daily faith journey.” This commitment reflects EWTN’s dedication to fostering meaningful connections and dialogues centered on spiritual growth.

In sum, the restructuring of EWTN into EWTN Studios and EWTN Digital not only marks a strategic enhancement of its media operations but also reaffirms its mission to inform, inspire, and connect individuals with their faith. As the organization continues to innovate, it remains steadfast in its core values and vision set forth by its founders. Expect to see more exciting developments as EWTN navigates this new age of media engagement, offering unique content tailored for contemporary audiences across the globe.
