Inception Media Group, LLC, a diversified media company specializing in the production, acquisition and distribution of entertainment content, announced that it has hired television industry veteran Steve Saltman to serve as president of its recently formed television and digital division effective March 1, 2014.

Saltman will oversee Inception's domestic pay, free, basic cable, satellite, PPV, SVOD, VOD and other television transmission sales initiatives. He will also oversee the company's domestic digital distribution and non-theatrical efforts. In addition to distributing Inception's proprietary programming, the television and digital division aggregates third party content and provides sales and distribution services to producers, content management firms, talent agencies and other independent distribution companies in need of a television and digital sales partner.

The announcement of Saltman's hiring comes on the heels of Inception's recently announced agreement with InDemand for feature film and live-event VOD and PPV distribution. Inception also has agreements in place with retailers including iTunes, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, VUDU, GooglePlay and Vubiquity.

"Steve is one of the most effective and well-respected sales executives in the television business and we are thrilled that he will be joining our senior team," said Andy Reimer, managing partner of Inception Media Group, LLC. "Our television and digital division will work with the other divisions of the company to provide a fully integrated approach to content production, acquisition and distribution."

"Inception has built a compelling infrastructure capable of supporting the acquisition and distribution of content across a wide variety of platforms and channels," said Saltman. "Additionally, the synergies created between the parent and its foreign sales subsidiary enables the company to offer content suppliers the means to reach a worldwide marketplace."

With more than 30 years of television sales experience, Saltman most recently served as senior vice president and head of television sales for RLJ's Image Entertainment. Before joining Image, Saltman served as vice president of First Look Studios, responsible for film sales and licensing of all aspects of television, VOD, non-theatrical and new media/digital. Prior to First Look, Saltman worked in the same capacity for DEJ Productions where he served as vice president of worldwide television and new media.
