The series begins March 4 at 10p with two piggy-backed episodes. Coming out of retirement with a new book, a record, in addition to a Sirius radio show and live stand-up gigs, Andrew’s TV show will chronicle his often comedic struggle to balance his personal and professional life. Dice Undisputed is produced by Fox TV Studios.

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM MARK BURNETT PRODUCTIONS

---

---

MTV Networks is reorganizing its ad sales staff to better integrate digital offerings with traditional cable network sales, according to Television Week. Its idea is to place three VPs  in charge of larger groups to make it easier to pull together resources for multiplatform deals.  Under the new alignment, MTVN president of U.S. ad sales Hank Close will oversee:

Sean Moran, EVP/Music Ad Sales including MTV, MTV2, VH1, MTV TR3S, MTVU, MTV Classic, Logo and The N

Jeff Lucas, EVP/Entertainment Sales including Comedy Central, Spike, TV Land and CMT

Jim Perry, EVP/Nickelodeon Kids and Family Brands including Nick at Nite

Under the reorganization, David Lawenda will move from senior VP of ad sales at Spike to take a similar job at VH1. The overall size of the MTVN sales forces will be reduced slightly to put more emphasis on service and support.

NBC Universal named Nick Johnson Vice President, Digital Media Sales, reporting to Peter Naylor, senior vice president NBCU Digital Media Sales. He will oversee NBCU’s Digital Media National sales force and coordinate sales strategies across all of the company’s digital properties.
 
Disney-ABC Media Networks has appointed Thomas Armentrout as VP/Human Resources to lead business partner groups in support of global media businesses. He will report to Jeffrey Rosen, SVP/Human Resources.
 
Oxygen has added Gennifer Birnbach as Senior Director/Sponsorships and Promotions to develop client sponsorships, promotions and product integration ideas for on-air and online for the network’s advertising sales department.
 
Patrick Hennon has been hired by Comcast Spotlight, the advertising sales unit of Comcast Cable, to be the Sales Manager/Digital Publishing Platform (DPP). Patrick will supervise the advertising initiatives for this new DPP division in the Pittsburgh area.
 
Greg Kahn has joined Optimedia U.S. as Head/Strategic Resources, where he will report to Antony Young, President. Greg is charged with launching the company’s communications planning and consumer insight products.
 
NBC Universal has named Jeff Fleeher to VP/CFO for the NBCU TV Networks Distribution and NBCU Digital Distribution divisions. Jeff will dually report to Bridget Baker, President/NBCU TV Networks Distribution and to Jean-Briac Perrette (JB), President/NBCU Digital Distribution. In this capacity, Jeff will manage NBCU’s financial efforts for the affiliate sales and marketing divisions in addition to digital distribution businesses. Furthermore, Eddie Gollhofer will be the new Finance Manager/Digital Distribution, reporting to Jeff Fleeher and benefiting JB Perrette’s group. Eddie will manage the financial planning and analysis as well as commercial support for the various digital platforms. Elsewhere at NBC Universal, Nick Johnson will become VP/Digital Media Sales to head the division’s national sales team as well as supervising the sales strategies for the company’s various digital properties. Nick will report to Peter Naylor, SVP/NBCU Digital Media Sales.
 
MTV has upped Lois Curren to President/Entertainment and Programming. Lois will provide oversight for all production, development, program planning and scheduling for the network. Based in Santa Monica, she will continue to report to Brian Graden, President/Entertainment, MTV Networks Music Group and President of Logo.
 
The New York base of The Sportsman Channel has hired Maura Fried as Director/Affiliate Planning and Strategy, responsible for affiliate contracts, research, strategy and database management. The network has also added Sandi Castro as Director/Affiliate Relations where she will manage affiliate relationships and marketing to increase the distribution of the network.
 
Ken DeBritto has been elevated to National Sales Manager of WSFL/Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, effective immediately.
