Canada's Corus Entertainment has put together a new children's team following a restructuring last month in which 53 employees were let go, reports C21 MEDIA. The kids division, which oversees YTV and Treehouse, was hardest hit by the shake-up.
In the new arrangement, veteran Nelvana exec Jocelyn Hamilton will move from her post as VP of creative development to be the new VP of content for Corus Kids Television, overseeing content for Nelvana Studios, as well as Treehouse, YTV and Discovery Kids Canada.
In other personnel changes, Nelvana development exec David Wiebe has taken on the new position of director of content for YTV and Jamie Piekarz will become director of content for Treehouse and Discovery Kids Canada.
John Rooney, director of programming for YTV; Amy Sutton, manager of acquisitions; and Brenda Nietupski, director of programming for Treehouse and Discovery Kids Canada, will remain in their current positions.
