Warner Bros. Discovery’s Kathleen Finch Retiring At Year’s End; Channing Dungey To Lead U.S. Networks
Warner Bros. Discovery's Kathleen Finch will retire at year end with Channing Dungey, head of Warner Bros. Television Group Chairman and CEO, stepping in to run U.S. networks.
I began my journey at the fledgling Food Network and am so proud to have helped turn it into a cable powerhouse, and then to lead the team developing some of the most addictive unscripted franchises across HGTV and TLC, creating household names out of chefs and house flippers, and capturing the cultural conversation with real-life stories,” said Finch. She helped turn a small food-focused network into one of the most watched and well-known cable brands, now a television mainstay thanks to the extraordinary chefs and restauranters who Finch developed, including Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri. Recently, the US Networks have been home to several ratings phenomena, including the multi-platform hit ID’s Quiet on Set, and TLC’s growing 90 Day Fiancé franchise that is a global sensation, appearing in 216 territories and being watched in 44 languages.
