HISTORY’s Amy Savitsky Joins Lifetime

Lifetime has tapped Amy Savitsky as senior VP of unscripted development and programming.

Savitsky joins from sister network HISTORY Channel, where she served as senior VP of development and programming. She is tasked with driving Lifetime’s nonfiction programming and will work alongside Brie Miranda Bryant, senior VP of unscripted development and programming.

Bryant will continue oversight of premium event documentary series and specials like Surviving R. Kelly, Wendy Williams: What a Mess! and Janet Jackson. Together, Savitsky and Bryant will manage the programming and development team, reporting to Amy Winter, executive VP, head of programming for the network.

“Having worked with Amy prior, we already have a shorthand, and I know she can hit the ground running,” said Winter. “Amy is one of the most creative executives I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with, and I’m thrilled that she is joining the Lifetime team to help lead unscripted alongside Brie. The future of Lifetime’s unscripted content is bright with these two powerhouses at the helm.”

“I could not be more excited to be reunited with Amy Winter and to work alongside Brie as we evolve Lifetime’s unscripted portfolio,” said Savitsky. “I’m excited to jump back into female-centric content on such an established women’s brand.”
