Fox Leisure is restructuring its operations into three divisions: community, studios and content material gross sales.
As a part of this re-org, Fox Leisure CEO Rob Wade has promoted Michael Thorn to president of Fox Tv Community and upped Fernando Szew to move of Fox Leisure Studios. Each will report on to Wade.
A search is at present underway for the top of gross sales and licensing unit Fox Leisure World, beforehand run by Szew. Within the meantime, the division will probably be run by Tony Vassiliadis, govt vp of FEG, reporting on to Wade. When a brand new everlasting head is called, Vassiliadis will tackle a special position on the studio unit.
Most not too long ago chief of unscripted content material at Fox community, Allison Wallach will transfer underneath Szew, serving as head of worldwide unscripted programming for Fox Leisure Studios.
Szew will oversee all Fox studios, together with Bento Field Leisure, Fox Various Leisure, Fox scripted studios, MarVista Leisure, Studio Ramsay World and Harvey Levin’s leisure studio TMZ.
Previously president of scripted at Fox Leisure, Thorn will now lead the entire community, managing the channel’s scripted, unscripted and casting groups led by Brooke Bowman, govt vp, drama programming and improvement; Cheryl Dolins, senior vp, comedy and animation programming and improvement; Yasmin Rawji, govt vp, unscripted; and Brittainy Roberts, senior vp, casting. Working carefully with Szew, animated content material champion Thorn will stay a member of the Bento Field Leisure Steering Committee.
“Beneath this new construction, each division of Fox Leisure is now poised for development and inventive excellence as we super-serve our audiences in every single place. Now the work begins,” Wade stated.
The restructure marks the primary main overhaul of Fox Leisure operations since Wade was promoted to CEO in October 2022. Wade had been head of unscripted and various programming for Fox Broadcasting when he was tapped to succeed Charlie Collier, who left to take the reins of Roku Media.
