32. Bill MeBilly Campbell Title: President, Discovery Networks U.S. Age: 47 Bill Goodwyn Title: President, affiliate sales & marketing, Discovery Networks U.S. Age: 45 Years in Industry: 23 Years left: “As long as my wife keeps spending, I’ll keep working.” Why Them? Billy Campbell has walked through fire over the last couple of years as ratings sagged at a few of Discovery’s staple networks. But the Discovery ship appears on a strong path these days, with reinvigorated programming (including the impressive Atlas HD series) and new hit shows like “Meerkat Manor” on Animal Planet. Meanwhile, Bill Goodwyn remains a top-notch marketer who makes sure MSOs know about Discovery's new shows and products. This Dynamic Duo over at Discovery makes it work.
