Since taking the role as CEO, he orchestrated the company’s successful financial recapitalization and re-invented ION as a leading independent television company that has delivered consistent profitable growth under his watch. Burgess led the transformation of the ION Television flagship network into a household TV brand by building a portfolio of high-quality popular original series, made-for-TV films, as well as syndicated dramas and theatrical movies. This strategy has delivered sustained audience growth and made ION Television a top-rated national entertainment network in record time.

Most recently he oversaw ION’s financially successful participation in the 600 MHz spectrum auction, while preserving ION’s full nationwide wireless footprint.
