In taking over the company, Lipstone has been tasked with developing and growing the Eurovision Song Contest internationally via new markets and new revenue streams — including new and existing digital platforms, as well as finding production and broadcast partners in new markets. “Greg’s unique profile with a combination of entrepreneurship and experience makes him the perfect complement to further expand the ASC footprint,” said Peter Settman, CEO of American Song Contest, Inc. “As one of our executive producers, we liked how he worked, and I learned that his lifelong success is a result of hard work combined with a fearless pursuit to excel in our industry.
I’m thrilled and our entire team is beyond excited for Greg to join with us and build the next big entertainment universe.”“American Song Contest” will air this year as a nine-week series is hosted by Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg, with competitors being eliminated down, March Madness-style, to a grand final.Lipstone exited Propagate in September but continued to work with the company on foreign sales and distribution of the American Song Contest show, including YLE in Finland, RUV in Iceland, RTS in Serbia and ERT in Greece and SVT in Sweden.
