EXCLUSIVE: Kelly Kahl, one of the longest-tenured and most respected top executives in broadcast TV, will leave his post as President of CBS Entertainment at the end of the year after 5½ years in his current role and 26 years total at the network.
George Cheeks, President & CEO, CBS and CCO, News & Sports, Paramount+, and Kahl just announced the departure internally in separate memos, copies of which were obtained by Deadline.
The move is part of “a restructuring and streamlining of leadership at CBS Entertainment,” Cheeks said. “Kelly is without peer in the broadcast television business,” Cheeks wrote in his note. “He is the architect of primetime schedules that have made CBS #1 for 19 of the last 20 seasons.
He is the masterful and fearless scheduler who moved Survivor and CSI to Thursday, changing the landscape of that night after a decade of NBC dominance.” Before taking on expanded responsibilities as President of CBS Entertainment in June 2017, Kahl oversaw scheduling for the network for 21 years.
