Roku leadership is experiencing its first big shakeup under new chief Charlie Collier, with current vice president of programming Rob Holmes deciding to depart the company in March after six years, and head of originals, David Eilenberg, being promoted to head of content across all of Roku Media.
A Turner and ITV Studios vet, Eilenberg’s elevation will bring content at Roku Originals and Roku Studios under one leader, and signals Collier’s focus on Roku’s platform advantages and creative as it enters its next stage of evolution as a media company that has racked up WGA, DGA and PGA nominations, as well as its first Critics’ Choice wins, in recent months — but also experienced a severe stock drop on poor earnings results and outlook.
Eilenberg joined Roku in March 2022, coming into his then-role ahead of former Fox Entertainment CEO Collier’s appointment as president of Roku Media last October.

"Project Runway" fans, prepare to get your tweeting on this season.
The Lifetime reality competition is entering the social media circus by allowing fans to vote for their Fan Favorite via Twitter hash tags that will appear throughout the show on each contestants name card.
"'Project Runway' fans are extremely passionate users of social media and even more passionate about expressing their allegiance to their favorite designers," says Evan Silverman, Svp of digital media for A+E Networks, to Lost Remote. "So it's natural to leverage that force with Fan Favorite and provide one more reason for them to interact with Lifetime's top reality show."
While the hash tags won't have any influence on who the judges send home, it will award one lucky designer $10,000 in cash regardless of if they make it to fashion week or not. Fans can watch the results in real time on MyLifetime.
