\n\tSILVER SPRING: Doug Baker has been appointed as the chief operating officer and chief financial officer for Discovery Networks International (DNI).<\/p>\n

\n\tHe is moving up from the role of executive VP and chief financial officer. Baker will transition into the new post over the next few weeks. He reports to JB Perrette, the president of DNI, and Andrew Warren, Discovery Communications' CFO.
