--- Quote from: theschnauzers on August 18, 2019, 04:14:17 AM ---Keep an eye on who’s in charge of what. Within a year, it’s very likely there will be NO revenants of the Moonves era at CBS in the corporate suite of ViacomCBS. (And with Julie Chen Moonves contract being up in September and the cancellation of all four CBS drama summer series, it’s quite likely the summer schedule will be quite different. (Love Island is a post-Moonves series.)

Joe Ianniello (current CBS CEO) will remain in his position, but will just report to the ViacomCBS CEO now. Also, I read on Deadline that Love Island was Les Moonves' last CBS pick up.

--- Quote --- 10 CEO Paul Anderson has added Executive Vice President, ViacomCBS Networks Australia and New Zealand to his portfolio duties, following the merger of Viacom and CBS Corporation.
He will additionally have local oversight of Viacom’s family of flagship pay TV networks – including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. – and a range of associated businesses, as well as 10’s platforms.
Ben Richardson, who is General Manager of Viacom’s existing networks operations in Australia and New Zealand, will now report to Anderson as GM, SVP, ViacomCBS Pay Networks and Network 10 Business Development.
David Lynn, CEO, ViacomCBS Networks International, said: “The progress that Network 10 has made under Paul’s leadership in strengthening its schedules, rebranding its portfolio and accelerating its streaming strategy has been impressive. I am convinced that operating our combined free-to-air, pay TV and digital assets as a single portfolio will add value to our business in Australia and I look forward to working with Paul, Ben and the rest of the team to bring an even more effective and engaging offer to local audiences.”
“I am thrilled to take on this new and exciting role. The ViacomCBS merger combined with Network 10 creates a unique and powerful media group in the local market, bringing together some of the most innovative entertainment and media brands in Australia and across the world. That will be great news for viewers and advertisers as we build a multi-platform business as part of this new global content powerhouse. I’m looking forward to working with our great team to capitalise on the many opportunities ahead of us,” said Anderson.
Maria Kyriacou, who most recently was President of International for ITV Studios, will now join as President, ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia
