Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly Leaving Network
Posted in: Uncategorized
Just weeks after he helped pitch the upcoming TV season to ad buyers, Fox Broadcasting Company Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly is leaving the network, Fox said on Thursday. He will depart by the end of June. No successor has been named.
Mr. Reilly joined Fox in 2007, just weeks after being ousted from his post as head of entertainment at NBC, and has been chairman of entertainment at Fox since 2012. There he oversaw many successes for the network, including the introduction of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Sleep Hollow” last season as well as “Glee,” “New Girl” and “The Following.”
But the network has lost its lead among 18-to-49-year olds, once a strong suit year after year for the network. NBC this season took the crown for that demographic from CBS, which won it last year.
