RATINGS Hallmark Channel was the most-watched entertainment cable network of 2022. Thanks to its holiday stunt “Countdown to Christmas,” which rose to the top in the fourth quarter, the network marked its ninth consecutive year as number one on the charts. “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” had its largest audience in over two years, courtesy of a guest appearance by Prince Harry. Tuesday night’s episode with the Duke of Sussex averaged 3.15 million total viewers, the most on a weeknight since former President Barack Obama sat opposite Colbert in November 2020, according to Nielsen. EXECUTIVE MOVES Noah Oppenheim will depart from his role as NBC News president to take a production deal with NBCUniversal. The network also hired Rebecca Blumenstein, New York Times deputy managing editor, as president of editorial. Blumenstein will oversee editorial, news gathering, bureaus, field operations, booking, “Meet the Press,” “Dateline” and NBC News Studios. Libby Leist and Janelle Rodriguez, NBC News executives, were also elevated into new roles. CBS Studios’ Meg Liberman will retire after 47 years in casting. The Emmy-winning EVP and head of casting who oversaw “The Good Wife,” “Jane the Virgin,” “NCIS” and more announced her retirement “to embark on [her] next adventure,” according to Liberman’s farewell note to staff. Deborah Aquila, head of casting for PTVS, will serve as head of casting for both CBS Studios and Paramount TV Studios, and will take on responsibilities previously held by Liberman. Mark G. Parker replaced Susan Arnold as chairman on the Disney Board. The succession reduces the Board size to 11 members, as Parker, director and executive chairman of Nike, takes a seat. Nelson Peltz was also nominated to the board by investor Trian Group, though Disney said in a statement, “The Board does not endorse the Trian Group nominee, and recommends that shareholders not support its nominee, and instead vote FOR all the Company’s nominees.” NBCUniversal’s Will Gonzalez, EVP and chief data office, has been handed oversight of the company’s newly-created Television & Streaming unit, merging research and decision sciences teams. LA-based production company Apploff Entertainment promoted Danielle Peress to VP of current and development. Peress will report to President and CEO Jeff Apploff. IN MEMORIAM Actor Ben Masters has died at 75. The “Passions” star died Wednesday after a battle with dementia and a recent bout of Covid. Masters is survived by his sister and nieces. |
