Christopher S. Stark, Sr.

President / C.E.O.

Christopher Stark Sr. is President and CEO of E-Guide Services, Inc. (EGS) and FYI Television, Inc. (FYI). With over 40 years of experience in the TV listings industry, Stark has been instrumental in setting the stage for real-time and accurate TV listings. He has applied his knowledge and expertise in TV listings, growing both EGS and FYI into nationally recognized companies. Stark began his career in 1968 in a traditional printing operation that designed, produced, and distributed newspaper and franchised TV listing booklets.

From there, Stark joined New York-based Cosmo Graphics as the General Manager of their Dallas operation, where he oversaw the production of over 400 weekly TV booklets. Stark became President and CEO and quickly realized the limitations of TV listing booklets, so in 1984 formed a subsidiary company, TV Listings Group Inc., to design, develop, and write custom software for computer database television listings. This successful method helped Cosmo Graphics expand to over 60 monthly cable magazines and 900 weekly and daily newspapers. Click here for full bio.
