The org chart at A+E Networks will finally start making sense: Robert DeBitetto, president and gm of A&E for the past decade, will leave his position as head of the network to run an internal production company called A+E studios that will create company-owned content for the company's cable networks and digital platforms. At the same time, the top programming execs at History, Lifetime and A&E are adding general manager to their positions; all will report to Nancy Dubuc, the recently elevated president and CEO of A+E Networks.
Dirk Hoogstra will handle the day-to-day at the two-network unit of History and H2, where he's in development and programming since 2010; David McKillop will take over general manager duties from DiBitetto at A&E; Robert Sharenow will helm the good ship Lifetime; and marketing and development teams at the networks will report to Hoogstra, McKillop and Sharenow.
