NEW YORK DirecTV has awarded creative chores on its ad business to Omnicom Group’s BBDO without a review, the client has confirmed. Estimated billings are $160 million.

Interpublic Group’s Deutsch/LA had handled creative. BBDO’s flagship office here will now helm the account.

The media buying and planning incumbent, Publicis Groupe’s MediaVest, has been replaced by Omnicom’s OMD in New York, the client confirmed.

BBDO’s December hire of Eric Silver helped set the stage for the agency moves. Silver, 36, produced award-winning work for FoxSports Net during his tenure with independent Cliff Freeman and Partners in New York.
