George Cheeks, Co-Chair and Chief Content Officer of Skydance TV, announced a ten-executive leadership team for the division and the creation of Skydance TV Studios on October 28, 2026, according to Deadline.

Skydance TV Studios is being created as the unit housing Warner Bros. Television Group, CBS Studios and Paramount Television Studios. Channing Dungey continues to lead Warner Bros. Television Group and will also oversee a combined Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery cable roster of more than 50 brands. David Stapf continues to lead CBS Studios, with See It Now Studios operating as a label within CBS Studios, while Matt Thunell oversees Paramount Television Studios.

Elsewhere in the structure, David Berson leads Skydance's Global Sports Group, Amy Reisenbach leads CBS Entertainment and Tom Cibrowski runs news operations. Bryon Rubin was named COO and expands his remit to oversee the CBS Television Stations group.

Laurel Weir oversees research and programming insights, Mike Benson leads marketing, and Chris Ender oversees communications and publicity. Skydance Sports Entertainment will be part of the Skydance TV Studios Group, with details to follow.

Jesse Sisgold is leaving the company. He had previously served as President and COO of Skydance Media and more recently ran Paramount Sports Entertainment. See It Now Studios was previously run under a similar label arrangement at BET Studios, and Bari Weiss's role as editor-in-chief of CBS News reporting to Skydance's co-CEOs was announced earlier.
