I am privileged to be able to collaborate with incredible artist talents across the spectrum of the arts alongside our brilliant team at Sky. “ It’s a particular kind of honour to be recognised for doing something you love. Phil Edgar-Jones OBE, Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment, commented : In 2020, with the creative industries under serious threat, he spearheaded the channel’s free-to-air move alongside M anaging Director of Content, Zai Bennett, to take Sky Arts to an extra 18 million living rooms via Freeview, bringing more art to more people in a bid to encourage participation in the arts nationwide. Since then, he has driven the vision and strategy for the UK’s only dedicated arts channel, broadcasting programm es celebrating music, theatre, dance, literature and visual art 24 hours a day. Phil was appointed Director of Sky Arts in 2014, having joined Sky as H ead of Entertainment in 2012.


Sky is delighted to announce Phil Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment, has been awarded an OBE for service to the A rts and T elevision in the 2023 New Year Honours List.
