Some re-imagination and re-invention at AMC Networks, the BBC's partner in BBC America, and it's good news for Sarah Barnett, once a PA in Radio 4 presentation.
Sarah is CEO of BBC America - now she'll also take charge of three other AMC networks focused on scripted programming - AMC, SundanceTV, and IFC. There's more consolidation across the four channels, with 40 jobs going.
The new executives tell Variety that there's been times when all four channels have been pitched the same show or found themselves chasing the same deals. Meanwhile the taxing business of scheduling BBC America continues - today, Star Trek from 1200am until 8pm, with two showings of that great British classic, The Untouchables, to follow.
