Happy Friday! Here in DC we’re doing our best to stay dry throughout the downpours we’ve been getting for the past day (and will continue on through the weekend). Many outdoor activities — festivals, sporting events, etc. — have already been cancelled because of the rain. Kind of a downer, yes, but the way I see it, a rainy day is the perfect excuse to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and catch up on a few shows I’ve missed this week.
This week we announced some changes in our senior management, naming Paul Guyardo our new Chief Commercial Officer, Marc Etkind as the general manager of Science Channel; Jane Latman as general manager of Destination America; and Jennifer Sarlin as SVP of Marketing for TLC.
