CBS Names Amy Reisenbach Head of Current Programs

Amy Reisenbach has been promoted to executive VP of current programs at CBS, succeeding Bridget Wiley, who announced plans to leave the network last week.

In her new position, Reisenbach will be overseeing the combined department that supports current programming for both CBS Entertainment and CBS Television Studios. She will look after creative affairs for all scripted series broadcast on CBS, and for studio shows produced for other networks and streaming services. She will report to David Stapf, the president of CBS Television Studios, and Thom Sherman, the senior executive VP of programming at CBS Entertainment.

Reisenbach had been senior VP of current programs since September 2015, supervising all series produced by the studio for The CW, while continuing to work on several shows broadcast on CBS. She joined CBS Television Studios in 2005 as manager of current programs, was promoted to director a year later and named VP in 2011. Previously, she worked at Warner Bros. Television in the drama development and current departments.
