CBS has unveiled its new structure for unscripted and specials following the departure of Jack Sussman who was EVP, specials, music, live events and alternative programming, CBS Entertainment. In his place, Mitch Graham, as EVP, alternative, will oversee unscripted and Mackenzie Mitchell will lead its specials team.
For decades, the biggest star at ESPN was ESPN. That’s changing as it transitions from cable dominance to a much less certain streaming future.
Sussman, EVP, specials, music, live events and alternative programming, CBS Entertainment, is stepping down but will remain in business with the network as an exec producer of both The Tony Awards and The Kennedy Center Honors.
The company ups more than 30 executives. CEO Chris Ripley recognizes “their outstanding contributions, we also reinforce our commitment to cultivating and promoting top-tier talent within Sinclair as we continue to evolve and transform our organization.”
He is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of Sinclair’s comprehensive legislative and regulatory strategy to support the station group’s policy and advocacy goals.

Current and former employees say they are chafing over the promotion of Ciprian-Matthews, who is now the top-ranked woman of color at CBS News.
