George Cheeks Cements Skydance TV Leadership Team Across Studios, Networks, Sports and News

George Cheeks, Co-Chair and Chief Content Officer of Skydance, has solidified his leadership team following the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Channing Dungey will oversee Warner Bros. Television Group's portfolio of studios, cable brands, and international channels, reporting to Cheeks. Matt Thunell, David Stapf, and Amy Reisenbach will continue leading Paramount Television Studios, CBS Studios, and CBS Entertainment, respectively.

David Berson will head Skydance’s Global Sports Group, while Tom Cibrowski remains in charge of CBS News operations. Byron Rubin will serve as Chief Operating Officer for Skydance TV, overseeing CBS Television Group and reporting to Cheeks. Lauren Weir will handle research, programming insights, and content strategy across Skydance TV's broadcast, cable, and studios, while Mike Benson will lead marketing and Chris Ender will oversee communications and publicity.

The leadership changes come as Skydance’s President and COO, Jesse Sisgold, exits the company to join RedBird Capital Partners, and after CFO Dennis Cinelli finalized finance leadership.
