10 to announce top role “soon”

Chief Operations & Commercial Officer will lead 10 with Beverly McGarvey.

An announcement will be made soon by ViacomCBS Australia & New Zealand as to who will lead Network 10 with content boss Beverley McGarvey.

When CEO Paul Anderson departed in March a decision was made to have a dual-head structure.

UK-based executive search firm Mission Bay has been searching for a chief operations and commercial officer (COCO).

The Australian Financial Review reports the role is likely to be given to an internal ViacomCBS candidate, with management consulting experience, and likely coming from the US.

Both will report to Maria Kyriacou, president of ViacomCBS Networks International’s operations in Australia and the UK, who recently moved to the US giant from ITV studios.

A Network 10 spokesman said, “an announcement will be made soon”.

10 Upfronts are October 15.

  1. Whoever they choose has their job infront of them. 10 needs an overhaul starting with news. Personally if l was a 10 excutive l would drop news bulletins and go to news headlines every 2 hours. Leave the news to other broadcasters. Concentrate on good programming and content.

    1. That’s not a silly thought, however would you even bother with news at all (maybe keep the project) and go back to the full entertainment spin of being TEN; The Entertainment Network!
