Nanci MacLean & Justin Stockman Move Up at Bell Media

TORONTO: Bell Media has elevated Nanci MacLean and Justin Stockman to VP of Bell Media production and VP of specialty channels, respectively.

In their new posts, which are effective immediately, MacLean and Stockman will continue to work under Catherine MacLead, the company's senior VP of specialty channels and Bell Media production. The promotions follow the resignation of Rick Brace, who was serving as president of specialty channels and CTV Production until late 2013.

MacLean first joined Bell Media in 2000. She will continue to oversee the in-house production team for all entertainment programming spanning the company's conventional and specialty channels, including The Movie Network.

Stockman has been with Bell Media for more than ten years. He is now charged with the day-to-day operational and strategic supervision of entertainment specialty brands, including The Movie Network. He will also help increase revenue opportunities and efficiencies for the company.

"With an incredible track record for success, Nanci and Justin bring significant experience to their new roles at Bell Media," said Phil King, the president of CTV, sports and entertainment programming at Bell Media. "These appointments reflect our strategy in continuing to build our industry-leading team, while delivering Canadians the very best in compelling content."
