CNA Staff, 27 June, 2025 / 12:15 pm (ACI Africa).
The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) announced June 26 that after a distinguished 29-year career at the network, Doug Keck will retire from his administrative duties as president and chief operating officer. He also will step down as a member of the EWTN board of governors.
Keck joined EWTN in 1996 following a career in cable television, sports, and media in New York City. His tenure saw the network, founded in 1981 by Mother Angelica, evolve into an award-winning global powerhouse, becoming the largest Catholic media organization in the world.
During Keck’s tenure, EWTN (CNA’s parent company) expanded its reach across television, radio, and digital platforms, producing notable initiatives such as “Life on the Rock,” “EWTN Bookmark,” and “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo,” the pioneering show of the network’s broader news programming.
In 2013, Keck was named president and chief operating officer after serving since 2009 as executive vice president and chief operating officer.
“On behalf of the entire EWTN family around the globe, I want to thank Doug for keeping the mission of EWTN our No. 1 priority over the years and never compromising in sharing the truth of the Gospel for views or clicks,” EWTN Board Chairman and CEO Michael Warsaw said in a statement. “EWTN is better off today for his contributions and for his dedication to our mission.”
