Exclusive: After only one year in the role, Christina Wayne is out as Managing Director of Mena network Mbc Studios, we can reveal.
We hear Wayne and Mbc are negotiating the exit and she may segue to a deal of some kind with the network. Mbc and Wayne declined to comment and the succession plan isn’t immediately clear though we hear that a successor may already be in play.
Mbc Studios is the production arm of the Middle East and North Africa-focused Mbc Group, the Gulf’s biggest network, and former Amazon and AMC exec Wayne had been tasked with continuing the group’s push into premium non-English-language TV programs and sprinkling in some English-language content. Mbc operates 17 free-to-air satellite channels and streaming service Shahid.
A key priority for Mbc in the past couple of years has been moving much of the studio’s regionally based staff, operations and content output to Saudi Arabia.

"Blemish, you don't even like music!" "Who ever said that?" Time for something a bit funky and tons of fun. The Quarry is an 11-minute animated short film comedy made by the illustrator / animation filmmaker Graham Mason based in NYC. it was originally created for Adult Swim Smalls, their short films spin-off featuring all kinds of wacky, weird creations. The Quarry is described as a "soap opera about rocks" though it's much more of a sitcom about rocks working at a quarry. One of them tries to ask out his co-worker on a date, and things don't go as planned. Featuring the voices of Brad Howe, Matthew Maher, Grace Rex, and Peter Smith. It likely won't be turned into a primetime sitcom anytime soon, but it's a fun escape into the wacky world of rocks trying to, uh, have a solid life. I laughed the most at the rock keyboard at the start.
