SYDNEY: Sally Riley has been appointed to the newly created role of head of scripted production at Australia’s ABC Television.<\/p>\n

Riley is currently ABC TV’s head of indigenous. In her new post, Riley will be responsible for leading the fiction, comedy, indigenous and children’s production teams.<\/p>\n

Richard Finlayson, ABC’s director of television, said: \u201cSally is an incredibly accomplished television executive, and over many years, she has nurtured and developed the Indigenous production sector, so that today it stands as one of the most innovative and vibrant parts of the industry in Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has never been a more exciting, or competitive time to be in scripted production and the ABC is well placed to take advantage of increasing demand for quality content. For that reason, it’s very satisfying to be able to recognize outstanding talent within our own ranks at the ABC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riley said: \u201cIt is an absolute privilege to have the opportunity to lead the scripted team at the ABC, which has such a rich and enduring legacy of bringing the most compelling Australian stories to audiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this increasingly global screen industry, it takes risky and bold storytelling that is not only uniquely Australian, but speaks to the rest of the world, that will resonate. I look forward to working with the independent production sector to continue to bring their bold, creative visions to life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
