Bravo Media has promoted Deirdre Bianchi to VP of programme planning and acquisitions, a new position that puts her in charge of Bravo programming and its movie and off-network acquisitions.
She will also liaise with programmers at other channels under the NBCUniversal umbrella.
“Deirdre’s invaluable experience and passion for television make her vital to the evolving programming landscape at Bravo,” said David Brewer, VP of programme strategy and acquisitions at the US specialty channel, to whom Bianchi will report.
Bianchi was previously senior director of strategic programme planning at Bravo and before that held a similar post at Comedy Central.
