Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 22, 2025 / 16:47 pm (CNA).
Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) Chairman and CEO Michael P. Warsaw has announced a new organizational structure to further EWTN’s mission in the digital landscape by enhancing its content creation and distribution methods under the leadership of two new presidents.
EWTN will now align its operations around two new divisions: EWTN Studios and EWTN Digital. Led by Peter Gagnon, EWTN Studios will focus on content development, while Sean Graber will lead EWTN Digital, which will prioritize the network’s media distribution and broadening its audience. (Note: EWTN is the parent company of CNA.)
“Under the leadership of our foundress, Mother Angelica, EWTN learned to constantly adopt new technology to reach souls,” Warsaw said. “Just as our major network peers in secular media have done, this change in structure will allow EWTN to expand our content offerings and reach new audiences in the places where people now consume media, while remaining always anchored in the teachings of the Church.”
Gagnon, named president of EWTN Studios after 32 years with the network, has pioneered initiatives in content production, global expansion, and multilingual offerings and has experience leading coverage of papal conclaves, jubilees, and other world events.
Gagnon holds a tremendous understanding of EWTN and its legacy as he is one of the few remaining team members who worked alongside the network’s founder, Mother Angelica.
“EWTN began offering the Mass, the most essential expression of what EWTN exists to bring to the world,” Gagnon said. “And I am excited to embark on this pivotal moment in EWTN’s history as we take the next steps in continuing Mother Angelica’s mission to proclaim the truths of the faith to both our existing audience as well as a whole new generation of Catholics.”
EWTN Studios will continue the organization’s legacy of creating impactful content in the Catholic sphere, producing compelling content in a manner that reflects the changing nature of media and evolving technologies.
Graber will serve as the president of EWTN Digital. He holds an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and has a strong background in business strategy, digital transformation, and product management.
“Mother Angelica was the original innovator, and it’s humbling and exciting to continue her legacy by bringing EWTN’s message to the next generation of Catholics — a message that has profoundly shaped my own faith life,” Graber said.
“I’m thrilled by how this reorganization positions EWTN to reimagine Catholic media at such an inspiring moment for the Church, as many rediscover their faith and we celebrate the historic election of an American pope.”
EWTN Digital will also focus on building platforms to distribute EWTN Studios content and other media in line with the network’s mission, to serve the legacy EWTN audience and new generations of consumers. It will also launch and manage a globally scaled streaming platform that will house the collection of the world’s most beloved Catholic stories and personalities.
“In these new roles, Peter and Sean bring diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and legacies to the EWTN family,” Warsaw said. “They are the ideal choice to guide these important new initiatives at EWTN.”
In its 45th year, EWTN continues its mission of service as the largest Catholic media organization in the world. As the network opens new doors and expands its audience, Warsaw said he is “incredibly excited about this next era of EWTN’s history.”
“We will build new platforms that are best in class where our audiences can engage with our content as part of their daily faith journey,” Warsaw said. “EWTN will continue to be present wherever souls thirsting for truth are found.”
EWTN’s 11 global TV channels broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in multiple languages, reaching over 435 million households in more than 160 countries and territories. EWTN platforms also include radio services transmitted through SIRIUS/XM, iHeart Radio, and over 600 domestic and international AM and FM radio affiliates; a worldwide shortwave radio service; one of the most visited Catholic websites in the U.S.; and EWTN Publishing, its book publishing division.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., EWTN News operates multiple global news services, including Catholic News Agency; the National Catholic Register newspaper and digital platform; ACI Prensa in Spanish; ACI Digital in Portuguese; ACI Stampa in Italian; ACI Africa in English, French, and Portuguese; ACI MENA in Arabic; CNA Deutsch in German; and ChurchPop, a digital platform that creates content in several languages. It also produces numerous television news programs including “EWTN News Nightly,” “EWTN Noticias,” “EWTN News In Depth,” “EWTN Pro-Life Weekly,” “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo,” and “Vaticano.”
