Frons To Exit ABC, Daytime & Most Syndie Fare To Move Under Drummer

Now that "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" are gone, ABC Daytime pres Brian Frons will also be exiting. He’ll be replaced by Vicki Dummer, formerly the network’s senior vice president of current series and specials, who will head up not only ABC’s daytime programs but also its syndicated fare under a new division called Times Square Studios.
So she’ll be helming Katie Couric’s upcoming syndie talk show as well as ABC net shows like “General Hospital,” “The View” and “The Chew” -- but not “Live! with Kelly,” which remains part of the ABC Owned Television Stations Group.
