ITV America Names New Head of Programming

ITV America has elevated Jordana Hochman to executive VP and head of programming.

With the promotion, Hochman’s oversight has been expanded to include productions based on both the East and West Coasts. She previously served as head of East Coast programming for the company. Hochman’s credits during her tenure at ITV America include Netflix’s Queer Eye, Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey and A&E’s The First 48.

Her credits also include the upcoming documentary Exposing Parchman, produced alongside Roc Nation, Oxygen’s New York Homicide, OWN’s recent Marry Me Now and Disney+’s docuseries Becoming. Hochman’s other current series include upcoming projects for Netflix, Hulu and Starz, among others.

Hochman originally joined ITV America in 2013, first serving as VP of programming at Leftfield Pictures. She was previously VP of current series at Oxygen Network and, prior to that, worked in the non-fiction department at A&E. She began her production career at MTV.

George said: “Jordana has played a key role in ITV America’s success, elevating our content through stellar work on shows like Queer Eye and so many others. Her sense of what buyers need to break through in a tough marketplace, plus years of hands-on production expertise, have been secret weapons for us for nearly a decade. To have Jordana now heading programming across both coasts bodes well for the future of ITV America and our partners.”
