Ex-Fox Chairman Lands a Top Job at Turner Running TNT and TBS

Carves new position as content chief

Kevin Reilly, the former chairman of Fox, has been out of a job since just after the upfronts in May. Now, he's landed one of the most interesting gigs in cable television—running TNT and TBS. The executive has been named chief content officer.

Steve Koonin resigned as president of Turner Entertainment Networks to take a job as CEO of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks in April, and the networks have been without a leader since then. Reilly will report to David Levy, formerly the head of ad sales at Turner and now the head of the whole company, and he will be based in Los Angeles.
