0Sanford Panitch has left his position as the president of Fox International Productions to become the President of International Film and Television at Sony.

Panitch is currently with Fox until June 2nd, when the deal with Sony is in effect.
In response to his new position, Panitch stated,
I’m honored to join the SPE team at this pivotal moment in the studio’s history. I am eternally grateful for my years at Fox working with Jim Gianopulos and all my longtime colleagues. This new role comes at a time of unprecedented change in the international marketplace, especially in television. It’s a wonderful and unique opportunity to work with Steve Mosko, his outstanding organization and again with my friend Tom Rothman.”
