Ostroff Expected To Leave CW

After almost a decade in Hollywood as the head of UPN and its successor broadcast network, CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff is expected to return to New York. Word is, Ostroff will probably leave the CW at the end of her contract in June to relocate to New York with her kids. A formal announcement is not expected to come until after next month's Television Critics Assn. conference in Pasadena.

Ostroff is the longest-running sitting broadcast entertainment president. She had been based in New York as SVP and EVP of Lifetime until CBS Corp. boss Leslie Moonves tapped her to run UPN at the beginning of 2002. For now, Ostroff is fully focused on the CW's midseason and development. She will soon be ordering pilots for fall, will oversee the launch of the network's midseason reality series "Shedding for the Wedding" and the relocation of "Hellcats" to Tuesday.
