HBO has shuffled its exec ranks in the wake of top programming executive Michael Lombardo’s exit. Casey Bloys has been named the new programming president for the premium cable network. Lombardo is segueing to a producing deal with the cabler.
Bloys, who will report directly to chairman and CEO Richard Plepler, will take on oversight of all programming for HBO and Cinemax, including HBO Films, HBO Sports, HBO Documentaries and Family and HBO Entertainment.
Bloys was promoted to president of series, late-night and specials back in January from his post as comedy chief, in the wake of Michael Ellenberg’s ouster as drama head. He joined the company in 2004 in the HBO Independent Productions unit, and moved to the programming side in 2006.
Among the executives now reporting to Bloys are HBO Films president Len Amato; HBO Miniseries and Cinemax programming president Kary Antholis; HBO Sports executive vice president Peter Nelson...
