Warner Bros. Announces a New Structure for Its UK TV Production Operation
The new structure will result in a more integrated strategic focus and an enhanced ability for the individual production companies to best serve their local audiences and create more local versions of their shows around the globe. Effective immediately, the CEOs of Wall to Wall, Twenty Twenty, Ricochet, Yalli and Renegade will report into Ronald Goes, Executive Vice President, Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP), working closely with creative and business executives across the global group.
Schlesinger said: “This is an exciting time for Warner Bros. International Television Production. With this restructure, we can better empower the experienced and talented executives of our production companies here in the UK to do what they do best – develop and produce great programming and franchises.
“With better access to resources of the global production and distribution operations unit already based in London, this should result in greater strategic alignment, operational efficiencies and support for each of the production companies to build their business, grow their presence and achieve even more success in the UK production market.”
