Continuing to chase its ambitions in becoming more than just a messaging service, Snapchat has hired former Fox comedy executive Marcus Wiley as its new head of program planning and development for Snap Channel.
In the role, Wiley will be responsible for bringing more original short-form programming to Snapchat.
