NBC Entertainment taps Giambrone

NBC Entertainment has appointed a former Endemol Shine North America exec as head of alternative production at its fledging Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS).

Linda Giambrone has joined NBC Entertainment as executive VP of production and will oversee aspects of physical production for all alternative programming at the US broadcast network and UTAS, which launched last year.

UTAS has since produced series as Better Late Than Never, Hollywood Game Night, The Wall and World of Dance.

Giambrone left her role as executive VP of unscripted production at Endemol Shine in April 2016.

She joined Shine America in 2011 prior to its merger with Endemol and Core Media, having previously worked at BBC Worldwide Productions out of LA.

“The fact that Linda is joining our team at this pivotal point in Universal Television Alternative’s growth is a huge coup for us,” said Meredith Ahr, president of UTAS.

“A studio’s value is in being a trusted brand, and that is built on its people’s ability to innovate, problem solve and deliver at the highest level. Linda is someone who will ensure our execution is unparalleled as we continue to expand and position ourselves as a global leader.”
