Taylor was at PR firm the Lippin Group.
Malone has brought in Chris McGurk, the former head of MGM, to take over theatrical-movie division Overture Films that plans to commission and distribute upwards of 12 pics a year. Starz Media owns IDT Entertainment, which produces the "Masters of Horror" series on Showtime; animation houses Film Roman and Manga Entertainment; and DVD distributor Anchor Bay Entertainment.
During Taylor's two-year stint at Lippin, he managed the accounts of Starz and Tribune Entertainment, among other clients.
Before Lippin, Taylor was the editor for TV and home-entertainment coverage with the Los Angeles Times. He started with Daily Variety in 1992 as managing editor and rose to executive editor, leaving in 2001.
