Entertainment One (eOne) has tapped Christine Diakos as VP of unscripted television development in Canada.<\/p>\n
Diakos, previously senior VP of production and development at Big Coat Media, will be responsible for the development, creation and pitching of non-scripted content, with a focus on lifestyle, reality and competition series.<\/p>\n
At Big Coat Media, Diakos served as a supervising producer on series such as Love It or List It<\/em> (HGTV), Love It or List It Vancouver<\/em> (HGTV) and Jillian and Justin<\/em> (W Network). She has also served in a variety of senior production and development roles at Shaw Media and Peacock Alley Entertainment, working on content such as A Users Guide to Cheating Death<\/em> (VisionTV) and Hockey Wives<\/em> (W Network), among others.<\/p>\n Working alongside Diakos is Scott Boyd, who has been promoted to VP of unscripted development and will oversee factual, true-crime and docuseries content. He joined eOne in 2017 as a development producer following the company\u2019s acquisition of Paperny Entertainment and quickly progressed to director of development. He has steered projects such as Make it to the Moon<\/em> (Discovery) and Arctic Vets<\/em> (CBC).<\/p>\n Prior to joining eOne, Boyd worked as a producer and director across multiple unscripted genres and on several hit series such as Dragons\u2019 Den<\/em> (CBC), The Big Decision<\/em> (CBC) and Undercover Boss Canada<\/em> (W Network).<\/p>\n Diakos and Boyd will both report to Jocelyn Hamilton, president of television in Canada.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that Christine is joining us as we continue to build out our unscripted slate,\u201d Hamilton said. \u201cHer depth of experience in the lifestyle space will be a perfect complement to Scott\u2019s expertise in factual. It\u2019s an exciting time for our unscripted business, and I couldn\u2019t be happier with the team that we\u2019ve assembled.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Entertainment One (eOne) has tapped Christine Diakos as VP of unscripted television development in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[202],"class_list":["post-18738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-entertainment-one","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
