ABC Reinstates Current Programming Dept.

  • The Wrap, Thursday, July 22, 2010 11:39 PM
ABC will reinstate its current programming department after eliminating it one year ago; no timetable has been issued. The current programming department, which oversees shows already on the schedule, was disbanded last June as a cost-cutting effort. At the same time, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson also assumed oversight over ABC Studios.

But ABC over the past two years has been the network putting the most new shows on the air and the thinking now is that there needs to be more specific attention given to those shows. It has not been announced who will become the new senior vice president of current programming. Kim Rozenfeld held that post until last June but was then reassigned within the Disney organization.
