Participant Media has named three more executives that will oversee the launch of its upcoming network.

The company has named John Arianas as executive VP of advertising sales and partnerships; Stephanie Ruyle as executive VP, content distribution and affiliate partnerships; and Karen Ramspacher as senior VP of research and insights. All three will be based in New York.

"As we enter a new era in the TV business, it was our goal to attract a passionate and visionary team who would help us be a leader in industry innovation," said Participant Television president Evan Shapiro. "John, Stephanie and Karen are accomplished and forward-thinking executives who have earned the trust and good will of partners across the television industry."

The yet-to-be-named millennial-targeted net is expected to hit the air this summer.
