LOS ANGELES: Making its first executive appointment under the new CBS Corporation and Lionsgate partnership, TVGN has hired Brad Schwartz to be president of entertainment and media. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Schwartz has previously held posts at Fuse, CTV in Canada and MTV. He will now be overseeing the programming, scheduling, marketing and creative operations for TVGN. He will report to the company’s board of directors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

"This partnership is all about improving a property that has tremendous potential it has yet to realize," said Leslie Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS Corporation. "The key to that improvement will be growing the quality of the programming offered to the more than 80 million viewers who have access to TVGN. I can think of no better person to manage that process than Brad. He’s a terrific addition to the team. All his experience has prepared him for this role, and I look forward to the contribution he will make as he leads this exciting new effort."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

"Brad is a gifted and astute young programming executive with a hip sensibility who knows how to create exciting branded content for an emerging channel," added Jon Feltheimer, <\/span><\/span>Lionsgate’s CEO<\/span><\/span>. "He has his finger on the pulse of pop culture and is ideally qualified to help TVGN fulfill its promise as a premiere destination for celebrating the world of entertainment."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

"I’m thrilled to join TVGN, a network backed by the programming and content resources of CBS and Lionsgate and available in more than 80 million homes," commented Schwartz. "This is an incredible opportunity to build an emerging brand on the cable television landscape."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The former interim president of TVGN, Dennis Miller, has been made the president of operations. Miller will continue to manage affiliate sales, finance and operational strategy. He will work closely with Schwartz in advertising sales. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Feltheimer added: "Dennis has done an outstanding job as interim president, and we are very pleased that he will continue to guide these important businesses. We are very fortunate to be able to add his significant talents to those of Brad and the rest of the team as we grow this property from the ground up." <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
