Lion Television USA Hires New Exec in Charge

Lion Television USA has appointed veteran executive Rebecca Bregman to the post of executive in charge.

Bregman is joining the current programming team, led by Allison Corn, to help oversee a production slate of close to 100 hours of programming that includes the relaunch of Cash Cab, the third season of Diabolical, second seasons of Hometown Homicide and Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall and more. In her new role, she will build and manage production teams and Lion’s overall production needs, reporting directly to Tony Tackaberry, CEO of Lion.

A three-time Emmy Award winner, Bregman has a long history with Lion, having produced three seasons of Cash Cab in 2009 and 2010.

Tackaberry said: “We’ve known Rebecca for years and have always admired her steadfast determination and amazing energy. We’ve watched and admired her develop into a high-level executive with a stellar reputation for overseeing a big slate. Having her expertise as an addition to the team is crucial as our production continues to grow across game, true crime and documentaries.”
