Exclusive: As Twentieth Television‘s Dish Nation gears up for its second season, the syndicated show’s creator/executive producer Stu Weiss, is leaving to return to Studio City, North America’s largest on-air marketing agency, which he co-founded in 1995 and serves as the Chief Creative Officer. Studio City has been the official marketing partner of the Olympic Games on NBC since 2010 and Weiss, who took a step back from his duties over the past year to focus on Dish Nation, will now oversee the on-air promotions campaign for the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics, as well as developing new original programming for the company. In light of Weiss’ departure, his No.2s on Dish Nation, co-executive producers Michael Bachmann and Matt Blanock, will take oversight of the day to day operations on the half-hour entertainment program, which features drive-time radio personalities from various markets riffing on what’s hot and happening that day in pop culture.
