Andrea Morabito (Broadcasting & Cable) -- Multichannel News, 1/26/2012 5:05:53 PM
Lisa Erspamer is exiting OWN in another executive shuffle at Oprah Winfrey's struggling cable channel.
"Lisa Erspamer, executive vice president of production and development for OWN, is leaving the company by mutual agreement to pursue other opportunities," a network spokesperson said in a statement.
Erspamer joined OWN in January 2010 from The Oprah Winfrey Show to oversee production and development of daytime and primetime programming for the Discovery-backed network. She spent 15-years at Harpo Productions where she rose to co-executive producer of Winfrey's iconic talk show and produced some of the program's most memorable episodes like the Whitney Houston interview and car giveaway.
The network has tapped Discovery veteran Rita Mullin, senior VP of content strategy for Discovery Fit & Health, to work with OWN on programming and development in the interim, while continuing her role at DFH, the spokesperson said.
