CBS is bulking up its non-scripted and specials team. The network has hired Gloria Medel Solomons as VP, alternative and specials. Reporting to Jack Sussman, EVP, specials, music and live events/alternative and reality, she will oversee portions of alternative and specials programming for CBS Entertainment’s primetime lineup.
Ahr’s exit comes a little over two months after the exit of NBC Entertainment head Paul Telegdy. Ahr was named president of the Alternative and Reality Group back in 2018. In that role, she oversaw all aspects of unscripted programming at the broadcast network, Universal Television Alternative Studio, and first-run syndication. She became president of Universal Television Alternative Studio in 2016 to launch and build the studio.
