EXCLUSIVE: Cyle Zezo, who oversaw alternative programming at The CW, is leaving the broadcaster. Zezo, who was VP, and Head of Alternative and Digital Programming at The CW, is leaving after having spent nine years at the network.
His departure was somewhat expected after it brought in former NBCUniversal exec Heather Olander to head up its push into non-scripted.
